Zoppas Industries: cut back on paper, improved efficiency
How to go paperless in Industry Production
Production processes are still primarily based on paper documentation, which limits operations’ speed and quality.
The I4.0 Paperless solution, adopted by Zoppas Industries Heating Element Technologies located in Vittorio Veneto, provides new data and knowledge about the manufacturing status in the factory, by supporting workers with real-time information about their operations and reducing stakeholders’ decision time.

Need
Improve efficiency by providing operators with information needed to manage industrial processes.
Leverage digital solutions for steady and rapidly production monitoring.
Digitally trace and manage quality tests and results.
Effectively manage production in case of anomalies and interruptions.
Solution
Together with Fraunhofer Institute, Cefriel designed and developed the “I4.0 Paperless” solution to digitize the production process documentation and production information flow.
The application enables to easily access the manufacturing process documentation of each specific piece, digitally trace and manage quality tests and results, and manage anomalies and production stops in case of necessity, thus improving the full production process.
Impact
Digitized assembly line
The assembly line documentation has been digitized and fully operating since 2018.
Connected factory
Real-time production monitoring, and digital connection with the other factory units.
- 90% paper
Reduction of paper usage in the production line up to 90%.
Faster quality controls
Significantly reduced lead time in quality control.
