Multi-camera / Vision Sorting

Multi-camera inspection is a photography-based inspection technology. This technology eliminates traditional in-line inspection challenges by powerful machine vision and advanced photogrammetric algorithms. Used to verify the quality of all features for each part at the moment of production to contain all defective parts, without having to rely on sampling. Additionally, it can conduct sorting activities fully virtually and immediately, thus cutting costs of recalls and airfreight for replacement parts.

Hand Sorting

We offer hand sorting to ensure that the fasteners meet the required specifications and are free from defects. Our highly experienced sorters limit the amount of defects saving you time and money when it matters most.

J.I.T.

Just-in-time (JIT) inventory management is a strategy that aims to reduce inventory costs and increase efficiency by ordering raw materials and goods only when they are needed for production or to meet customer demand. JIT requires close collaboration with suppliers to ensure that raw materials arrive as production is scheduled to begin, but no sooner. The goal is to have the minimum amount of inventory on hand to meet demand. JIT is a form of lean management process that requires all parts of any production or service system, particularly people, to be interconnected and mutually dependent on generating successful outcomes.

Kan Ban System

If you’re looking for a way to streamline your fastener inventory management, consider implementing a Kanban system. This just-in-time inventory management system helps to optimize your inventory levels and reduce waste by ensuring that you have the right amount of fasteners when you need them. The Kanban system is based on the principle of pull production, where the production process is initiated only when there is a demand for the product. This ensures that you don’t overproduce or underproduce fasteners, which can lead to unnecessary costs.

Kitting

By implementing a kitting system, you can enjoy benefits such as maximum availability of your inventory during manufacturing and production processes, transparent purchasing processes, reduced procurement costs, low capital commitment, greater flexibility within your supply chain, and much more.
