Automation shortens lead times and minimizes the potential for human error, said the company. "In order to fully leverage our investments in automation, we've focused a lot of time and energy in designing and implementing robust systems and procedures," explained Andrew Peterson, Production Supervisor. "We operate a paperless system so everyone on the production floor is working off the same data rather than [having] moldmakers doing it their own way."
