From design to optimisation: a ViDiMa case study in industrial washing
.
In industrial washing, components are subjected to repeated cycles, continuous mechanical stress and particularly harsh operating conditions. In this context, the real challenge is not only to create a functional product, but also to guarantee its reliability over time without introducing production costs that are difficult to sustain. It was this requirement that led to ViDiMa’s involvement in the development of a basket designed for intensive use in industrial washing cycles.
Critical issues that emerged from the initial project
An in-depth technical analysis of the initial design highlighted some significant critical issues. On the one hand, the planned configuration did not guarantee structural strength that was fully adequate for continuous use in particularly demanding industrial environments. On the other hand, some design choices would have involved such complex production that they would have had a significant impact on the overall costs of the product. This is a common situation in the industrial sector: a theoretically valid solution which, when compared with the actual conditions of use and economic constraints, risks losing its effectiveness and sustainability over time.
The design review and ViDiMa’s contribution
Based on these assessments, ViDiMa worked closely with the customer on a comprehensive review of the project, with a clear objective: to make the solution more robust, efficient and sustainable, without altering its required functionality. Through a targeted redesign of the structural elements, ViDiMa overcame the critical issues that emerged during the analysis phase, achieving a more solid and better optimised solution in terms of production and economics, while maintaining the product’s suitability for its intended industrial use.
A more robust and efficient result
The end result is a product that is better suited to industrial washing conditions, capable of ensuring continuity of use and greater efficiency, while reducing production complexities and associated costs. A concrete example that summarises the ViDiMa approach: starting from a real problem, analysing its technical and economic implications and guiding the customer towards solutions capable of generating value over time.
