Transition to new Quality Control Software

/
1Factory ScreenShot

GlenDee/MGI runs on our own MRP/ERP system. While all aspects of Quality have been handled in that software, we have been looking to incorporate a good bubbling and statistical software. Finally, we believe we have found the solution. The software we selected is 1Factory.

1Factory has all the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the complexity of a statistical software package. It can create the necessary AS9102 Form 1 - 3 documents, and has a dashboard like interface for monitoring your company.

We have implemented the tool for the past two months and have all ready seen the benefits.

Another SMEC SL2500ASY Mill-Turn Machine Deployed

GlenDee/MGI has once again decided to purchase its 3rd SMEC SL2500ASY from ProTek CNC in Simi Valley. Protek was able to deliver this machine in under two weeks. Great job to those guys - awesome company to work with.

This machine was purchased to accommodate manufacturing quantity requirements in the 30,000+ pieces per year. We have had success with this machine on other high volume applications.

UR-10E for tending

UR-10E Robotic Tending for our ECOTurn 450's

/

GlenDee/MGI has purchased a Universal Robot UR-10E for machine tending our ECOTurn 450’s. This robot will allow these machines to produce a minimum of 8 hours per day more than the current day rate. This implementation will be complete by February 1st.

Once we have met our production goal on these machines, we will further implement machine tending on all our manually loaded machines.
