Situation
A leading manufacturer of construction machinery sought to reduce cab weight in their newest model as a way of increasing the efficiency per machine by an average of several hundred dollars.

Solution
Our engineers applied their expertise and innovative approach starting early in the design stage through to quality and durability testing. They walked the customer’s line and identified opportunities to cut the assembly process. Additionally, our regional quality laboratories played an important role in ensuring our proposed fastening solution was corrosion-resistant whilst providing the level of frictional consistency that met the customer’s requirements.

Result
Our engineers cut assembly process costs by over 30%. Plus, our deep level of analysis and solution testing enabled a reduction of cab weight by 10% with final cost savings well beyond the original Bill of Materials.
