Rometron boosts production capacity with integrated solutions from Smans

Case study

In-house production for greater control and flexibility

To support their growth and innovation, Rometron decided to take full control of their electronics and cable harness production in-house. In collaboration with Smans, a complete SMT production line was installed — from board handling, printer, pick & place and oven to stock management. In addition, Rometron invested in the Komax Sigma 688 ST, a fully automatic wire production machine that can cut, strip and twist.

Efficiency and speed with the Komax Sigma 688 ST

With this investment, Rometron processes more than 10,000 metres of wire annually for the wiring harnesses of their own systems. Twisting wires is a unique and crucial part of the process.

Integrated SMT line for maximum efficiency

The decision to install its own Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production line gives Rometron the ability to manage electronics assembly entirely in-house. The line is made up of carefully coordinated modules, resulting in:

  • Consistent quality through automated processes
  • High production speed and fewer manual operations
  • Real-time inventory management of components for smooth throughput

This approach allows Rometron to respond quickly to new product developments and customer requests without being dependent on external production partners.

 

 

Full control over the production process

By organising production in-house, Rometron achieves clear advantages:

  • Shorter lead times and faster delivery to customers
  • Lower production costs thanks to more efficient processes and less dependence on external suppliers
  • Higher quality and reliability, because every component remains under direct control

One partner for a complete production ecosystem

The choice for Smans was obvious. As the only partner that could offer a complete and integrated package, Smans offered Rometron a single point of contact for the entire production chain. This means easier maintenance, smooth support and systems that are perfectly coordinated.

Ready for the future

With their new production lines, Rometron has a future-proof and scalable solution that grows with their ambitions. Thanks to the collaboration with Smans, the company combines innovation, speed and quality — and remains a leader in its sector.
