Produkcja kółek o dużej wytrzymałości
Posted by Colson Group on December 11, 2015
After a series of recent manufacturing investments - including a new laser, CNC machining centers and forming equipment, and multiple robotic welding cells - Colson Group USA announced plans to rapidly advance the company's heavy-duty (HD) caster manufacturing within its two Michigan manufacturing plants throughout 2016.
Plany obejmują wprowadzenie większej liczby linii produktów wytwarzanych w USA z dłuższymi gwarancjami (począwszy od wycinanych laserowo kółek Albion 310 i 410 bez sworznia), innowacyjnych nowych projektów i opcji akcesoriów, a także zaawansowanych procesów zapewniających większą szybkość w opracowywaniu niestandardowych rozwiązań dla segmentu HD. Istotnym elementem tych planów jest wykorzystanie przez firmę atutów i infrastruktury obu zakładów produkcyjnych w stanie Michigan w celu jak najlepszego wsparcia tych inicjatyw oraz rozwoju zarówno standardowej, jak i niestandardowej części działalności w segmencie HD.
"The Albion, MI manufacturing plant will continue to advance its heavy-duty focus under the leadership of Brad Bell and his experienced team," said Kevin Osborn, VP of Operations. "They will be working closely with the St. Joseph, MI plant to advance HD production, and will also be receiving the heavy-duty responsibilities from our Newnan, GA facility to better align HD production and leverage our new investments."
The group's polyurethane production is also receiving an upgrade in both equipment and capabilities, and will be transitioned to a worldclass poly environment. The transfer to one of the top precision polyurethane production facilities in the country will increase Colson Group USA's production capabilities, enhance production control, and offer more advanced material options - including more resilient and high-temperature resins.
As a final step, the Albion, MI plant will be brought onto Colson Group USA's new ERP system to complete the company's goal of a unified ERP system across all of its facilities. This accomplishment allows Colson Group USA to unlock further service capabilities and process improvements for its customers across all of its facilities.
"We have a strong commitment to advancing our heavy-duty products and service," said Brian Denisty, Heavy-Duty Product Manager at Colson Group USA. "Our planning and recent investments provide the necessary foundation to deliver this commitment to our customers, and I am excited to begin the rollout starting with the new laser cut 310/410 Series made right here in Michigan."
