CRD Lamiere was established in Forlimpopoli in 2005, from an entrepreneurial project led by Cristian Ciani. In just a few years, the company has grown from a small artisan business to a structured partner for metal carpentry for third parties, working for sectors such as large-scale retail trade, packaging, furniture, and agricultural machinery. With a state-of-the-art technological plant - 2 flat lasers, 1 laser tube, 5 bending machines, 2 robotic islands and 12 welding stations - CRD has grown by focusing on innovation, quality and the ability to support the customer even in design.
Experience with the product:
The collaboration with Libellula began in 2012, out of a concrete need: to overcome the limitations of previous software and integrate cutting, nesting and business management into one fluid system. After an initial meeting with the owners, CRD decided to adopt the entire Libellula suite - including CAD/CAM modules and SEQUAR management - in an integrated vision of digitisation. A brave choice, which marked a real turning point for the company.
Tangible benefits
- Total control of production: from order receipt to cutting, the entire process is monitored in real time, including stock management.
- Intelligent nesting: efficiency and speed in the processing of parts and the use of materials.
- Modular and evolutionary management: digitisation was implemented in steps, following the needs and pace of the company.
- Value for the customer: consistent quality and high standards of the final product.
Business Impact and Results
The introduction of the Sequar management system, which is fully integrated with CAD/CAM Libellula, represented an epoch-making change: from an organisation still tied to paper, CRD moved to a connected system, in which every piece of information - from the technical drawing to stock availability - is immediately accessible. This has improved operating margins, eliminated downtime and made each work step more fluid and predictable. The result? A company ready for Industry 4.0, with a structured management oriented towards continuous improvement.
Customer Satisfaction
"With Libellula we have built a true culture of quality. Today, every project is taken care of right from the start, with care and method. The result? When it goes into production, it comes out perfect."
"Libellula for us is a family that helps another family. A partner who supports you, listens to you, spurs you on and allows you to really grow."
