  Organisation

Organisation

With over 50 years of experience, QS Group operates both nationally and internationally and is placed among the top companies worldwide in integrated automation.

QS Group designs and manufactures machines, industrial automation systems and tools for sheet metal, plastic and polyurethane foam processing, as well as product handling systems, automated warehouses, assembly and testing lines. It also develops software to acquire, process and manage production data by digitising the single machine or the entire production process.

The synergy between the 5 internal divisions and the know-how acquired over the years allow research into customised solutions and offer turnkey systems to fully meet all customer demands.

Where necessary, QS Group provides support in co-design and concurrent product and process engineering, as far as prototyping and virtual commissioning of systems.

QS Group puts great emphasis on environmental sustainability and green economy. QS Group’s machines are designed and manufactured in order to have a low impact on the environment and significant energy savings, while software used in manufacturing and intralogistics processes are developed to guarantee consumption monitoring.

Services

We offer a turnkey solution for the appliance industry and material handling in general: a single interface for all the production and storage requirements.
Thanks to our 5 divisions we provide systems and machineries for each manufacturing phase, optimizing budget and timing of our Clients. From the feasibility analysis to the operator training, we take care of your automation. Our Service will support you constantly for maintenance and spare parts, extending the lifespan of your systems.

We implement co-designing and product engineering, including the development of prototyping.
The co-designing service is essential to combine aesthetic requirements with product efficiency. The cooperation with the Client is crucial to optimise the industrial phase and to ensure the success of the project.
Our skills in prototyping also allow a cost-effective review of each project from the beginning all over the lifecycle of the systems.

Upon delivery, a qualified staff of our technicians takes care of the system commissioning at the Client’s premises. Then, with the personnel training, we transfer all of the required knowledge on the automated systems. All issues will be solved and any doubt will be clarified. Our Client must acquire full competence in using its automation. This is to reduce as much as possible the start-up phase and to avoid any costs due to unscheduled maintenance or system stop along the production.

Dealing with us, your systems, even the most dated, can reach high levels of productivity and efficiency, always in accordance with current regulations.
Thanks to technical/regulation upgrading, we are able to improve the performance of your machines or to convert those that are no longer compliant with regulations, offering staff training and updating courses.

We also offer our assistance if you need to relocate your QS Group systems and machines. We mean as “relocation” the service to assist you in the process of moving automated systems from one facility to another. We will take care of the transport of your machines, their assembly and re-commissioning at the new site. Thanks to the QS Group experience, we guarantee efficiency, safety and speed in completing the full process.

We have a huge warehouse dedicated to spare parts for our systems. This ensures quick delivery of needed spare parts and minimising machine downtimes to the max. Our specialised technicians will be able to help you identify the part that corresponds with your specific needs and guarantee delivery in the shortest possible time.
