ATS Global helps Ergodinámica accelerate production through digital automation

Purpose

Ergodinámica had already made its mark as an expert in customised insoles. High-performance athletes seeking injury prevention, gait analysis, and biomechanical expertise found it all in this Barcelona-based medical group.

However, rapid growth had outpaced the company’s production model. What’s more, its commitment to customised solutions had increased the pressure on its operations. Disconnected systems across the process created bottlenecks, delays, and inconsistent delivery dates.

For ATS Global and Siemens, the road was clear. Ergodinámica didn’t need new processes. It needed a digital-first partner who understood that precision and personalisation were central to its value proposition.

Solution Approach

Ergodinámica implemented an integrated digital workflow that centred around Siemens’ NX X Manufacturing, supported by ATS Global Spain’s expertise.

NX X Manufacturing

• Connect CAD, CAM, simulation, and CNC machining within one digital platform.
• Automate the conversion of biomechanical data into machine-ready manufacturing instructions.

NX CAD

• Generate customised orthotic insole geometrics based on set biomechanical rules with NX CAD.
• Eliminate repetitive manual CAD modelling tasks.

NX CAM and CNC Programming

• Automate machining preparation and toolpath generation using standardised templates.
• Improve production efficiency and reduce programming time.

Machine simulation and validation

• Simulate machining operations before production to improve quality and consistency.
• Reduce manufacturing errors and manual adjustments.

An integrated manufacturing workflow

• Enable seamless data flow between gait analysis, engineering, and manufacturing.
• Provide dedicated long-term planning and support services.
