Securing Supply for a Critical Medical Lift Component There’s a small steel component just a few inches across, and weighing less than 200 grams, that connects a mobile patient’s lift to the sling or stretcher that cradles a person who can’t move on their own. It’s not a glamorous part. It doesn’t appear in any product brochure. But when a caregiver wheels a lift to a hospital bed and […]
Long-standing supplier relationships are built on trust. For years, RJS Corporation relied on a stable sourcing structure to support the components inside its tension controllers. RJS designs and manufactures spooler equipment used by tire manufacturers in radial tire production.
How GCX Strengthened Supply Stability for Precision Medical Stampings with MES The most stable manufacturing operations don’t wait for disruption to force change. They strengthen what works and build flexibility before it becomes urgent. That was the position GCX found itself in. GCX designs and manufactures mounting systems and medical carts used in hospitals and clinical environments worldwide. […]
Preparing a Critical Rotor Housing for Scalable Production Most manufacturing inefficiencies remain invisible as long as production continues and parts arrive when expected. That was the case for Thompson Pump, a manufacturer of hydraulic pumps used across construction, industrial, oil, and gas applications where reliability under pressure is non-negotiable. In one of its systems, performance depends on a large aluminum rotor housing that must consistently perform in demanding environments. […]
Why Battery Mounting Details Matter More in Electric Vehicles Battery retention hardware has a thankless job. It rarely gets much attention in electric vehicle programs because it doesn’t move power, manage heat, or control performance. Yet, when batteries are mounted directly inside the chassis, the retention components that secure the batteries become an integral part of the vehicle’s structural system. These considerations are especially relevant for Harbinger Motors Inc. As a manufacturer of medium-duty electric […]
How MES Helped Honeywell Stabilize Production at Scale Manufacturing systems tend to reveal their weakest points slowly. As small variations accumulate, what once felt manageable can begin to strain production, quality, and delivery. For companies that design and manufacture highly engineered systems—especially those expected to perform reliably in complex, real-world environments—this loss of alignment carries […]
