5 minute(s) to read
In the context of supplying quality automotive parts for final assembly, maintaining a consistent production output is crucial to ensure reliable deliveries in a modern manufacturing environment. Tier-one suppliers, in particular, face continuous pressures to fulfill their obligations by delivering parts on time and in full, with little room for error. Line operators play a vital role in meeting their daily production targets to support customer satisfaction.
Within this tier-one facility, operators take great pride in their work, specializing in building sealing and fluid handling systems and components. Their expertise goes beyond materials science innovation, as they possess manufacturing proficiency in providing high-quality parts to more than 20 countries worldwide. To optimize their operations, operators sought tool solutions that would alleviate the challenges associated with using cabled tools.
The manufacturer's engineering team conducted a thorough review of Cleco's cordless tools and were pleased to learn that the complete lineup did not require any compromise in performance. One tool in particular, the CellTek, was available in both pistol grip and right-angle configurations. It provided a torque range starting at 1.1 Nm, which offered exceptional precision for small fasteners—an application critical to their operations. By adopting these cordless tools, the manufacturer could address operator challenges associated with cords and cables, while simultaneously ensuring the consistent and repeatable quality they required.
Cleco has successfully demonstrated a partnership approach that has fostered trust among the line operators and manufacturing engineers. Based on this positive experience, the manufacturer is now considering trialing more Cleco products for additional manufacturing lines within the next 90 days. This decision reflects the confidence and satisfaction the manufacturer has in Cleco's solutions and their commitment to further enhancing their production processes.
