Application: Kitting/Sub-Assembly for Machine Manufacturing
Challenge:
Current customer required a kit of 60 components. As we assembled the kits, we realized that the customer would be assembling many of these components at their facility.
Solution:
Working with the customer, Brenner-Fiedler identified the parts that would be assembled together and proposed several sub-assemblies that would make up the main kit. The result was a kit with one part number that had multiple sub-assemblies plus contained individual components needed to complete the final assembly. This helped the customer to save time and money on labor costs since the kits were pre-assembled when they received them.
Application: Simplification of Many Parts
Challenge:
Customer had a need for a filter regulator, ball valve, relief valve & many fittings. Combined, the customer purchased 13 individual SKU’s from 4 different vendors to fulfill his needs. They had to purchase parts separately, track inventory, follow up with vendors, plus store them in their warehouse. Customer was constantly dealing with lead time issues from different vendors. When it came time to use the parts, they had to pull the parts individually. Customer was looking to reduce man hours required and to cut costs.
Solution:
Brenner-Fiedler was able to purchase the components needed and configured a solution that mounted all the parts together in one unit. The customer received one unit ready to be used in their master assembly. By assigning the unit its own part #, purchasing requirements, stock & costs were reduced. The customer’s resources are now freed up to concentrate more on their core business.
Application: Panel Assembly
Challenge:
Customer purchased slides for their conveyor systems. Every slide required the proper valuing and pressure to operate successfully. Customer needed a complete unit that would convey a professional image they wanted to project with their equipment plus ease of use.
Solution:
Brenner-Fiedler purchased the components and a mounting plate. The mounting plate was properly cut to customer’s specifications, powder-coated to the customer’s corporate color scheme and labeled according to customer’s instructions. Brenner-Fiedler then purchased and mounted all the necessary components and hardware. The result is a professional modular unit that replaced 40 individual components installed. When the customer orders this assembly, he receives a value package ready to mount.
Application: Solenoid Valve Assembly
Challenge: Vacuum packaging manufacturer needed an unusual valve unit. This unit included many parts and due to their large staff and changing personnel, the assembly was often completed improperly.
Solution:
Brenner-Fiedler identified all the components needed on the valve assembly and assembled the components as specified by the customer. As part of our quality assurance, Brenner-Fiedler inspects and pre-tests all the assemblies before delivering them to the customer. The customer has the confidence that all the valve assemblies will be assembled correctly and will function properly.
Application: High Pressure Tank Receiver Assembly
Challenge:
An oil drilling company needed a storage tank for high pressure air used for a braking system on an offshore oil drilling rig. The tanks needed to hold up to salt, water & weather.
Solution:
Brenner-Fiedler purchased a tank and had it specially coated internally & specially painted externally. Then, the piping, relief valve, ball valves & regulators were mounted, specially packaged and shipped.
