Being a job shop (or contract manufacturer if you like that fancy word) means you're always changing gears for different parts and sku's. Here's a quick look and breakdown at what we've been processing this week:

About 200 different parts or sku's through laser, brake, and saw. Most with a QTY of 1-4.

Some shipped right after laser or brake, some are part of larger assemblies.

Design smarter for manufacture — Ahner’s quick checklist for engineers and purchasers: 1) Choose common, readily available materials to cut lead times and cost. 2) Consolidate features to reduce operations and touchpoints. 3) Specify realistic tolerances where function matters, relax where it doesn’t. 4) Design with clean weld access and fixturing in mind for robotic welding. 5) Optimize parts for laser cutting (nesting, tab locations) to improve yield. We pair these choices with our laser cutting and robotic welding cells in Sandusky to move rapidly from design to priced production and avoid costly rework. Need a design review? Let’s talk — we’ll evaluate manufacturability and get you a quote fast. https://wix.to/n0L0FBX
