Conveyors are used to automate the manual labor involved in transferring materials from one process to the next. There are various types of transport methods available for different types of products and materials. OTC is capable of designing, implementing, and building all styles of conveyors, including pallet conveyors, flexible chain conveyors, belt conveyors (for food or material conveyance).
More often, it is top priority for companies to reduce stress and injuries in manufacturing and work environments in order to boost productivity. To achieve this, OTC offers customized workstation designs through our custom-cut shops to meet specific needs and requirements. This allows us to tailor unique ergonomically designed workstations to reduce strain and promote safety.
Flow racks are a type of racking system designed to facilitate efficient and accurate inventory picking. Using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, products are loaded into the back and picked from the front, ensuring that the oldest items are used first. This fluid movement of materials helps to prevent any slowdowns in the production process. At OTC, our team of experts can customize flow racks to meet your specific production needs.
Incorporating inline machine vision into quality inspection processes is a game-changer that can significantly enhance productivity and drastically reduces the number of defective products. Including tailored vision applications is crucial to ensuring that each product undergoes a thorough quality inspection process.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, companies must be efficient to maintain their competitive edge. One way to achieve this is by incorporating robotics into their production processes. By programming robotic systems to perform specific tasks, organizations can optimize their manufacturing, material handling, shipping, and inspection operations. At OTC, we specialize in robotics system integration, analyzing your current operations to identify areas that could benefit from automation technology, including robotics.
Visual management can provide a simple yet effective solution to enhance information flow in many manufacturing shop floors. Easy access to production information maintains the integrity of production quality and can also be used to boost efficiency and aid in training.
OTC empowers you to track production data seamlessly with dynamic dashboards and visual management solutions. Andon is OTC’s system that makes it easy for floor management to monitor and evaluate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) at a glance. We collaborate with your team to define process metrics, personalize your command center with a visual dashboard, and monitor production data without any limitations.
