Human-Centric Processes and Automation for Low to Mid-Volume Manufacturing

Description

Metal Craft innovatively combines human-centric manufacturing with automation to address workforce demand and cost reduction. Focused on low- to mid-volume production, it tackles challenges in the medical device industry, especially in orthopedic instrumentation with high-mix/low-volume demands, ushering in sustainable and efficient manufacturing. 

Utilizing a combination of standard principles and best practices, automation is expanded from high-volume production to everyday manufacturing. Through collaborative automation, we facilitate a smooth interaction between human workers and automated systems. 

Focused collaborative automation includes auto loading systems, streamlined material handling and lights-out manufacturing, enabling autonomous facility operation for peak productivity. Patent-pending processes, standardized tooling, programming templates and monitoring mechanisms simplify operations, providing workers with intuitive tools.
