Foundry and Lean Manufacturing in Clyde, Ohio

There is a great diver­si­ty in the man­u­fac­tur­ing around the state of Ohio. Many dif­fer­ent types of man­u­fac­tur­ing can exist in the same area, like foundry steel works exist­ing in the same place as injec­tion mold­ing plas­tics man­u­fac­tur­ing. This is the case in Clyde, Ohio. No mat­ter what indus­try a man­u­fac­tur­er serves, there is only pos­i­tives when com­pa­nies decide to improve their pro­duc­tiv­i­ty with the help of inte­grat­ed robot­ic technology.

Ger­stenslager Com­pa­ny has a branch of its inter­na­tion­al com­pa­ny in Clyde, Ohio. This is a steel work­ing com­pa­ny with blast fur­naces. Foundry work, like is found in steel plants, can pro­duce hot, humid work con­di­tions that can be uncom­fort­able and some­times dan­ger­ous to human work­ers. That is one of the ways robots can help – cer­tain robots are spe­cial­ly designed to work in even the hottest con­di­tions. This moves human work­ers out of the hot areas, which improves not only the health of work­ers, but also the morale of the facil­i­ty over­all. By rais­ing the health and morale lev­els, man­u­fac­tur­ers will have less down­time and sick time dur­ing pro­duc­tion. Also, robots do not need days off, breaks or vaca­tions, which means an even fur­ther decrease in down­time, which improves pro­duc­tion numbers.

Anoth­er type of man­u­fac­tur­er, Revere Plas­tics Sys­tems, is one of top 25 injec­tion mold­ed plas­tics com­pa­nies in the U.S. They are head­quar­tered in Clyde, Ohio. This com­pa­ny prides itself on lean man­u­fac­tur­ing process­es. Lean man­u­fac­tur­ing is anoth­er way that robots can help a pro­duc­tion line. Robot­ic automa­tion pro­motes lean man­u­fac­tur­ing by cut­ting down on the amount of equip­ment or steps need­ed to cre­ate a prod­uct. One robot can per­form sev­er­al dif­fer­ent appli­ca­tions like mate­r­i­al han­dling, mate­r­i­al removal and weld­ing, depend­ing on the end effec­tor. With this type of ver­sa­til­i­ty, robots can dri­ve down pro­duc­tion costs.
