LEAX do Brasil has just gained visibility on one of Brazil’s largest news portals. The company was featured in a special report by G1 Paraná (RPC), published on August 3, 2026, as part of the “Produtividade que Transforma” series, produced in partnership with Sistema Fiep. The piece shows, in practice, how computer simulation and Digital Twin technology are helping industries in Paraná produce more with the resources they already have — and LEAX do Brasil is one of the examples featured.

For a company specialized in CNC machining of critical components for heavy vehicles, such as the propeller shaft (eixo cardan) and its components, being recognized for productivity innovation reinforces a mindset that is already part of daily operations at the Araucária plant: pursuing efficiency without compromising safety or quality.

A Simulation Project That Became a Success Story

The G1 feature stems from a project developed by LEAX do Brasil in partnership with Instituto Senai de Tecnologia em Produtividade. The initiative applied computer simulation to map, in detail, how people, equipment, and materials move throughout the factory during production.

The goal was clear: reduce unnecessary internal movements and optimize the supply flow of the production line, preparing the plant’s structure for future expansion. By simulating the movement of operators and forklifts across the factory floor, the team found that time lost to internal travel was higher than expected — a quiet bottleneck with a direct impact on productivity.

How Digital Twin Works in Practice

The technology behind the project is the Digital Twin: a virtual replica of the factory’s processes and production flow, built from mathematical models and real operational data. With this replica, it’s possible to test different scenarios — new layouts, supply routes, equipment placement — without interrupting actual production and without the risk of investing in physical changes that don’t deliver the expected return.

This is one of the key advantages of computer simulation: it turns decisions that once relied on intuition or trial and error into data-driven decisions, tested virtually before any physical change is made to the plant.

Results: A Centralized Logistics Hub and Productivity Gains

Putting the project into practice at LEAX do Brasil resulted in the creation of a centralized logistics hub, consolidating the factory’s supply flow into a single strategic point. This change freed up areas previously used for decentralized storage, opening space for new equipment without the need to expand the plant’s physical footprint.

According to the data presented in the report, the project is estimated to bring a productivity gain of between 8% and 15% for the company — a significant result, especially considering it was achieved by optimizing resources the plant already had, without major investments in physical expansion.

The View from LEAX do Brasil’s Engineering Team

The great advantage is being able to see the impact of changes before making any physical alteration. We can make decisions with much more confidence, reducing risk and avoiding investments based purely on assumptions.
— André Gemael D’Avila, Engineering Manager at LEAX do Brasil
This statement sums up the spirit of the project well: computer simulation doesn’t just fix isolated problems — it prepares the plant for sustainable growth, with safer decisions that rely less on assumptions.

What This Recognition Means for LEAX do Brasil

Being featured in a G1 report, alongside other success cases of industries advancing on their Industry 4.0 journey, is a recognition of LEAX do Brasil’s ongoing work in combining innovation, operational efficiency, and a commitment to sustainable business growth.

Beyond media coverage, this feature reinforces the company’s credibility with customers and partners in the heavy-duty automotive, agricultural, and off-road sectors — segments that increasingly demand suppliers capable of combining technology, precision, and efficiency at every stage of production. LEAX do Brasil continues to invest in technologies that make its operations more efficient and future-ready, strengthening its position as a reference in precision component manufacturing for heavy vehicles in Brazil.
