“HELLO” TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION SİSTEM TEKNİK ON THE JOURNEY OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION…

Thanks to the diligent work of our employees and the trust of our customers, our asset size increased by around 30% in TL in 2020, and our export rate was 73%. We aim to continue the same success in 2021. I would like to briefly talk about what we have done in terms of digital conversion in this process. First of all, with the consultancy of my dear teacher, my dear friend Dr. Lütfi Apillioğlu, we started the lean transformation, which is an indispensable part of digital transformation. By demolishing the walls between the departments in our factory, we eliminated the silo logic in our company. We have taken very important steps in terms of reducing our costs by reducing waste in every area, we invested in a warehouse system that can integrate into a digital system that makes vertical storage in- stead of our manual warehouse system that covers a lot of space, we got rid of unnecessary stocks. In the name of digitalization in production, we started to use our Product Data Management (PDM) system more effectively, we invested in the Project Management System MANAGE software, which can be integrated into our design system.

1. Introduction Regarding to the rapid development in aviation industry, the components of the system requires high temperature and pressure endurance during its service life. For this reason, thermo-physical properties and the creep-rupture characteristics of the components strongly depend on the microstructure of the alloy [1]. In order to achieve precise control- ling of the process, fine grains, and homogenous microstructure, the selection of the heat treatment method is important [2]. For several applications, Ni-based superalloys are em- F!gure 1. Test sample and thermocouple locat!ons. TECHNICAL ARTICLE 3

he global production quality is improving with developing Ttechnology. This situation has made it necessary to continuosly developing our improvements for the projects and the production speed. As a Sistem Teknik Industrial Furnaces, we established a new department with a strong team in 2020 by aiming to improve our processes without slowing down with standardization and digitalization studies. In order to increase the speed and efficiency of our processes, the foundation of the System Technical Catalog studies has been laid. As a result of the simultaneous engineering studies of our newly formed department, the ST Catalog stuides are continously shaping and its product range are increasing. Our goal is to reach, more standardized, more optimized production costs, ease of maintenance and service, and making our processes even more efficient.

What is the purpose of system technical catalogs? We can explain the main purpose of the catalog studies briefly as follows: to gain speed in project and production processes and switch tion and quality departments are • Reducing product variety with to lean and agile production in ac- much more efficient.

The modular platform project, one of the products recently added to the ST Library. We have standardized systems such as platforms, balustrades and stairs that require much work force both in terms of projects and manufacturing, and we have added them to our agile design and production understanding.

Faster, more efficient The modular platform project, which we have transformed into a standard project, accelerates the process by providing great convenience to the designer while in the design phase. As the design is modular, the assembly time of the platform in the production area is also shortened. This system, which can be easily assembled and disassembled, provides many convenience during the pack- aging and shipment stages due to its modular structure. We continue to work with our strong and experienced staff in order to make all our processes faster and more efficient by adding many of our projects similar to the modular platform project to the ST Library. 12 ARTICLE - FESTO

In these cases, once the primary system is found to be leak free, the secondary piping can be sealed. Then, using a similar process, this secondary containment area, the interstitial space between pipes, can be flushed, pressurized with helium, and checked for potential leaks.

ince its establishment in 1952, ULVAC (ULtimate in VACuum) has been committed to the Sadvancement of vacuum processing technology. ULVAC is an international company that designs, manufactures and markets equipment and materials for industrial applications of vacuum techniques and technology. ULVAC products include dry type vacuum pumps, mechanical booster pumps, diffusion pumps, high vacuum valves, gas analyzers, leak detectors and surface profile measurement systems.

Gas Analyzers usage purposes It is used to determine flammable gas as a percentage in fire, hazardous industries.

Qulee Basic Gas Monitor "Qulee" (pronounced "KLEE") is ULVAC's latest model for residual gas analysis. Feedback from plant engineers on various production lines has been greatly enhanced by incorporating it into the new product design. The most suitable result has been achieved for the system control of vacuum evaporators and various types of vacuum furnaces.

Vacuum Carburizing Furnace Qulee Advantages • The system provides leakage control. • Guarantees the stability and repeatability of the system performance. • Manages the oxygen concentration during carburizing. • It secures the surface brightness of the products. • Detects the effective carburization time and optimizes the time. • It prevents metal deterioration due to the long Proceed the Vacuum carburizing
