Below are examples of some of the custom lean systems we have designed and built.
MICRO-GAS GENERATOR (MGG) LINE
THE CHALLENGE
Setpoint’s customer needed a custom automated product line in a new facility that was currently being produced in another facility. One of the significant problems with the existing machine was the amount of floor space it required. The current machine would not fit into the new facility. The customer needed to reduce the size of the machine required to produce the product as well as increase throughput and reduce the per unit cost.
