How do you control torque reaction? And can you guarantee your sequence is always controlled?

When a tool tightens a bolt up to 220 Nm, the reaction force is far too high for an operator to hold by hand.

This manipulator solves that problem by providing the torque reaction needed to absorb the force, protecting the operator while keeping the process controlled.

With sensors built into the rails, the system tracks the exact X, Y and Z position of the tool. It will not allow the tool to start until it is verified in the correct position.

The result is a safer and more reliable bolting process, where the right bolt is tightened in the right sequence, at the right torque.

We are all geared up for the Bokke playing in our backyard this weekend.

To celebrate, we’re building up some serious Friday gees ahead of the epic game against the Barbarians tomorrow. The stadium is going to be absolutely packed, and the energy will be electric!

Grab your green and gold, bring your best energy, and let’s show the boys how Gqeberha does match day!

Can you double output without doubling cost?

That is the challenge every growing manufacturer eventually faces. Anyone who has run a shop floor knows that scaling isn't just about adding more people, shifts, or equipment.

When production ramps up, small process gaps get magnified:
Shift A runs perfectly, but Shift B does things differently.
Training gets cut short because lines have to move.
A single missed step creates a costly quality defect.

Growth only works when the process is truly repeatable. The original intent of the process engineer needs to match what actually happens on the line, every shift, every operator, every time.

That is why ODIN Workstation exists. It’s not about software, it's about standardising operator ex*****on so teams have the stability to keep production steady.

Because the real goal isn't just to build one successful line. It’s repeating that success across every shift, without the problems.

Today we celebrate the energy, curiosity, and potential of the next generation.

Youth Day is a reminder that every young mind deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and help shape the future.

Are you choosing the right solution for the problem on your shop floor?

Many people in manufacturing confuse automation with Industry 4.0, using the terms interchangeably. However, they have completely different goals. Understanding the distinction is vital for building a clear operational strategy.

Automation is the machine, Industry 4.0 is the data.

You do not have to implement them together or in a specific order. A factory can automate physical tasks without using deep data, or it can use Industry 4.0 data tools to optimize a completely manual, human-driven assembly line. Real success comes from knowing which tool solves your specific problem, rather than adopting technology for its own sake.

Trading the safety boots for running shoes

While our team is busy commissioning a project overseas, they found a moment to step away from the line and join a local parkrun.

A great reminder that there's always room for a little balance, and a coffee afterwards.

A measuring tool does not just tell you if a part is wrong. It tells you where, why, and by how much.

At Jendamark, precision is built into the manufacturing process, and one tool that helps us do this is the FARO Arm, a portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM).

A CMM measures a component across the X, Y, and Z axes to check its height, width, depth, shape, and alignment in 3D space. This allows our team to instantly compare a manufactured part against its CAD model or tolerance drawing.

Unlike a traditional fixed CMM, the FARO Arm is completely portable. Instead of moving a heavy part to a separate inspection room, the operator takes the arm directly to the component on the shop floor, using a probe to capture highly accurate measurement points.

We use it to verify:
Hole positions & machined features
Surface alignment, flatness, and angles
Part dimensions & assembly fitment

The Golden Rule: Setup matters as much as the tool
Even the highest-accuracy tool will give poor results if the setup is rushed. To get a true picture of the part, the component must be perfectly secure, the correct probe must be selected, the datum must be clearly understood, and enough data points must be captured.

For our manufacturing teams, the FARO Arm helps verify quality while work is still in progress. By identifying small issues early, we reduce rework and ensure every component meets strict standards before moving forward.

Because in manufacturing, quality is never guessed.

It is measured.

It was an absolute pleasure having our Jendamark India CEO, Himanshu Jadhav, with us at HQ in South Africa a couple of weeks ago.

While it was a really productive week of meetings, we made sure to block out some time for a major milestone, his 10th anniversary with Jendamark. We managed to catch him off guard with a surprise gift to say a proper thank you for his ten years of incredible leadership and dedication.

To top off a busy week, he wrapped up his South African stay with a well-deserved round of golf before heading back home.

Thank you for everything you do, Himanshu Jadhav!, here's to the next 10 years!
