Kitting Management Software & Hardware

Kitting Management Software & Hardware Description:

eFlex Kitting supports the operator to deliver "the right part to the right place at the right time.” It empowers the assembly operator to work more efficiently reducing non value added work, minimizes apron space on the plant floor, and much more. 

Effective, efficient material handling is one of the foundations of any flexible production system, including lean manufacturing.

Features & Benefits

The primary objective of eFlex Kitting in support of the operator is “to deliver the right part to the right place at the right time" and includes:

• Support the assembly operator in working more efficiently and error-free
• Simplify standardized work of the operator
• Eliminate part proliferation decisions from the operator during assembly
• Separate “parts picking” (non-value added) from “assembly” (value added) work
• Reduce overall non-value added work from the operator
• Minimizes apron space on the plant floor
• Allows for kitting labor linearity
• Allows tier II wages &/or third parties to be utilized to support line side or off-site kitting
• Simplifies the management of kitting changes that occur with respect to content and volume
• Improves safety
• Allows for the kitting area to serve as a supplement to the supermarket storage area
• A dedicated kitting area specifically to support a sub-assembly area can be located adjacent to the sub assembly.

Additionally, we offer turn-key deliverables that include our eConfiguration tool for kitting and plug and play standardized hardware to be installed on either the customer’s rack design or our design. This provides for fast turnaround times and easy to use standardized kitting solutions.
