Inovaxe announces that it has successfully revolutionized the material management processes at Altronic LLC, a Girard, Ohio-based manufacturer of ignition and control systems for industrial engines and other specialty instrumentation applications. Through the implementation of Inovaxe’s advanced solutions, Altronic has achieved unprecedented efficiency, accuracy, and traceability in its SMT production operations.
Altronic sought to overcome long-standing challenges with manual material retrieval processes and legacy storage systems that limited flexibility and efficiency. After careful evaluation, the company turned to Inovaxe’s comprehensive material management solution, which seamlessly integrates mobile racks, stationary racking, and dry storage cabinets.
“Inovaxe’s systems are the perfect solution for Altronic’s needs,” said David Ly, Inovaxe’s Global Technical Sales Manager. “By automating critical processes and enabling real-time traceability, we helped Altronic optimize operations, reduce downtime, and achieve a 99.9% inventory accuracy rate.”
Key components of Inovaxe’s solution for Altronic included:
- MODI Table for Automated Receiving: Captures essential vendor reel data and assigns unique IDs for accurate traceability throughout the production lifecycle.
- Pick-to-Light Technology: Ensures operators retrieve the correct materials quickly and accurately, eliminating the need for manual searches.
- Integrated Dry Storage Cabinets: Maintains moisture-sensitive components to precise specifications, with automated alerts and built-in heating elements.
- Real-Time X-Ray Counting Integration: Delivers accurate reel counts in under 10 seconds, seamlessly updating inventory systems.
Altronic Director of Manufacturing David Bulkley is pleased with the systems’ impact. He said, “Inovaxe’s solutions have transformed how we manage materials. The intuitive software, robust automation, and seamless integration with our existing systems have significantly improved our efficiency and ability to meet customer expectations.”
Inovaxe’s tailored approach enabled Altronic to streamline its SMT operations, providing flexibility for diverse component requirements while maintaining rigorous process controls.
“Our mission is to empower manufacturers like Altronic with intelligent, scalable material handling solutions,” Ly added. “We’re thrilled to see the measurable impact our technology has had on its operations.”
