Smart Manufacturing: How TOPCORE Digitalized Production and Boosted Efficiency

The year 2022 marked a significant technological leap for TOPCORE. With rising demand and increasing quality expectations, we knew it was time to take a bold step toward a smarter, more efficient production system. The answer? A deep digital transformation across our manufacturing operations.

But this wasn’t just about technology – it was about changing our mindset and building the foundation for scalable, sustainable growth.

1. Why Digital Transformation?

Our previous systems worked well for smaller-scale production. But as volumes grew, so did the complexity. Processes were siloed, data wasn’t always available in real-time, and planning became increasingly difficult.

“Digitalization wasn’t just a buzzword for us. We wanted structure, clarity, and a reliable foundation for future growth,” says one of TOPCORE’s co-founders.

The goal was simple: Precision. Transparency. Scalability.

2. Automating the Production Lines

In 2022, we upgraded two key areas of our manufacturing:

  • Liquid adhesives – new automated mixing systems with digital dosing, temperature control, and real-time monitoring.
  • Powder-based blends (additives) – new production lines with weighing sensors and precision batching.

Benefits:

  • Reduced errors
  • Optimized raw material usage
  • Faster transitions between batches
  • Consistent product quality

3. AICRA: The Brain Behind Our Production

We also implemented AICRA, a tailor-made software solution built specifically for TOPCORE’s needs.

With AICRA, we can:

  • Monitor production in real time
  • Manage raw material inventory
  • Plan batches with minute-level precision
  • Maintain full traceability for every single batch

Currently, we’re developing integration with Power BI, which will allow us to create real-time dashboards, generate automated reports, and explore predictive analytics.

4. Customer Benefits – and Internal Gains

For our customers, the impact is clear:

  • More consistent product quality
  • Faster and more reliable deliveries
  • Greater transparency and flexibility

For our team, digitalization means:

  • Improved productivity without increasing headcount
  • Time and material savings
  • A future-ready system for international growth

5. Unlocking New Opportunities

With AICRA in place, we’ve laid the groundwork for data-driven production.

This enables us to:

  • Evaluate line performance
  • Adapt quickly to changing customer demands
  • Tailor adhesive recipes to specific applications

Looking forward, we’re preparing to:

  • Integrate Power BI dashboards
  • Adopt AI and machine learning for predictive batch planning
  • Digitalize logistics and customer service for a seamless experience

6. A Fully Connected Production Ecosystem

We’re building more than just a digital factory – we’re creating a fully connected ecosystem where production, sales, planning, and support all operate from one data-driven foundation.

Every order, every batch, every customer interaction – efficient, traceable, and reliable.
