Right Tool, Right Place, Right Time
Working collaboratively, a shop that builds industrial automation machines and Creform came up with a custom design tool cart that fit the needs of correct tool placement and tool accountability.
This custom assembly tool cart is from Creform Corp.
Recently, a builder of industrial automation machines was looking for ways to organize and keep track of tools used during its machine assembly process. The manufacturer turned to Creform Corp. to help them come up with a solution.
Working collaboratively, the manufacturer and Creform came up with a custom design tool cart that fit the needs of correct tool placement and tool accountability. Having the assembly tools organized, visible and at the assembler’s fingertips has saved time by eliminating numerous trips to the tool room.
The cart uses an open and visible design as well as casters for mobility. It’s like a workbench on wheels. To learn more about Creform’s shop floor solutions, visit its website (creform.com).
