Programme: Innovations and Competitiveness

NIPI-M AD is a company established in 1997, rapidly developing and innovative, specializing in the production of medical beds with developed own engineering structures. 98% of our products are sold through exports to both European and other markets. 
We invest in modern equipment and improve the efficiency and productivity of technological processes. A major problem ahead of us at the moment is the generation of a significant amount of wastage waste, which is formed in the Cutting stage and which amounts to over 5,000 kg per year at our current volumes of work. The reason for this amount of waste is the insufficient and obsolete equipment that is used in this process and that is not able to carry out precise cutting and bending, and this is the reason for a relatively large percentage of scrapped elements or those with the need for remaking. The distances that need to be left on the metal sheet to form the element remain as waste. Apart from this, traders of pipe material, which is the main raw material in our business, do not have a set of sizes suitable for our production. The pipes we need need to be reshaped, which generates a significant volume of pipe waste handed over for recycling. All this waste increases the value of our products, and the machines we work with are low capacity and therefore limit our capacity and slow down the production process. 
These problems can be solved with the purchase of modern precision bending and cutting equipment, as well as a robotic welding and pipe cleaning system, processing waste and returning pipes as raw material in the production process. With the new equipment, we will also provide ourselves with the opportunity to introduce a new type of bed with lightweight construction, which will lead to energy efficiency for consumers when using it. Our production capacity will be increased by an average of 15%.
