Cutting Costs & Lead Times For High Volume Machine Builders
The Challenge
This Enclosure customer is a machine rebuilder that does a high volume of CNC retrofits, service, and repairs. Much of the equipment they work on has been in service for 25 years or more, and most of it contains obsolete electronics. Since their rebuilds are typically one-offs, our customer has had issues finding an off-the-shelf enclosure that fits their needs and space requirements. Another issue: suppliers quoting 16-week lead times and often delivering late.
