About us Snap
Founded in 2011, SNAP Automation operates in the integration of industrial automation systems. The company performs the interconnection of equipment, thus developing intelligence so that communication between the machines takes place at the right time.
SNAP serves large car assemblers and machine manufacturers, as well as the industry in general, producing white goods (stoves, refrigerators, electric saws, lawn mowers, among other household appliances). Because, the investment in automation makes the processes more agile, profitable and competitive.

Why automate processes in a company
Speed
Greater agility and productivity in product manufacturing.
Efficiency of production
Greater volume of products and agility between ordering the product and the start of production.
Security
Elimination of many risks in the operation of machines, with the use of sensors.
Higher added value to employee work
More valuation of the professionals’ dressing and less physical activities.
Process of feedbacks (return) of reliable production controls
Accurate data of what is running.
Quality
Greater guarantee of quality standard in the manufacturing process and consequently in the product produced.
Manpower
Quality of life for employees, less physical effort on the part of the team.
Lowest Cost
Hiring a reduced number of people and consequently lower costs with social obligations.
Increased market competitiveness
Product customization faster.
Sustainability
Better thought-out processes, with reduced waste of materials and inputs, which results in less waste generation, less electricity consumption and less air pollution.
Snap ready for industry 4.0
In the sense that companies need their processes increasingly automated and interconnected, SNAP has prepared itself over its years in the market to enter what is called industry 4.0. Thus, industry 4.0 is a recent industry concept that encompasses the main technological innovations in the fields of automation, control and information technology, applied to manufacturing processes. As a result, production processes tend to become more and more efficient, autonomous and cost-effective. This means a new period in the context of the great industrial revolutions.
Therefore, automation is responsible for taking the workload off the “back” of the operator. In other words, it runs processes that can be up to 100% automated, with employees working in machine and process management and no longer in the manual operation of equipment.
