Automation - Domestic Competitive Advantage

Automation - Domestic Competitive Advantage Age

It's fair to say the vast majority of domestic manufacturers would prefer the consistent quality and supply chain dependability of having their production needs solved through domestic channels. However, it's also fair to say that lower manufacturing costs available offshore have weighted the decision-making process for many purchasing and supply chain executives. Put simply, in most instances, domestic manufacturing resources have been incapable of competing with Chinese and/or Asian alternatives.

At Micro Tool Company we know that the key to being competitive with offshore resources is through automation and maximizing cost-reduction at every opportunity. With that premise in mind, we have invested heavily in automation technology, robotics and machine vision systems to dramatically lower production costs by enabling true "Lights-Out" production.

Micro Tool has the in-house expertise and experience to design a process for automation for one part, or a family of similar parts, reducing labor content, non-conforming part rates, and delivery delays.

ECONOMICS AND LOGISTICS

So if your supply chain is primarily focused offshore and you would like to explore the benefits offered via automated domestic production, Micro Tool Company has a solution ready for you to explore.

Our highly automated "Lights-Out" production with multi-axis robotics and the ability to incorporate visions systems eliminates significant manual labor and human error while actively monitoring production. This means if a machine tool has problems during production, that event is spotted and personnel are able to quickly react to the situation. This process dramatically lowers production cost while ensuring a better quality part that consistently conforms to your requirements.
