Solution
PEKO assigned a Program Manager with electrical engineering expertise to lead the way. His team included Manufacturing Engineers, Production Planners, Assembly Supervisor, Quality Personnel and Purchasing. This team ensured all necessary steps were taken to ensure success on such a complex build of low to mid volumes. Bill of Materials was reviewed and finalized, component parts released to in-house manufacturing, off-the-shelf items procured, Quality documentation created and more. This type of complex machinery required PEKO to create hundreds of detailed work instructions and train the assembly technicians to execute. Dealing with the pneumatics, hydraulics, servo and other motion controls requires great thought and foresight to manufacture correctly. A 7,000 Square foot area was dedicated to the assembly cells for these machines, and in-house testing is done at the end of each build to ensure the product leaves PEKO with perfect performance and minimal debug. Specialized crating is used, and product is shipped directly to the end user.
