Case Study – Re-task labour to sort add-on parts for a fabricator

RE-TASK LABOUR TO SORT ADD-ON PARTS FOR A FABRICATOR

Innovation has arrived to remove cost and improve the schedule for the structural steel fabricator to sort the add-on parts prior to fabrication.

SMS is yet to witness any steel service centre or fabricator with in-house processing machines supply add-on parts that are sorted to a fabrication workshop. Every fabricator has low skilled labour sorting the correct add-on parts to be fabricated for the correct beam. This unavoidable manual part sorting process increases the man-hours per tone to fabricate and increases a delivery schedule.

No fabricator wants to have boilermakers/fitters waiting for add-on parts to be sorted before they can be fabricated and assembled to beams. A structural steel workshop with a capacity of 3000 ton per year will have 10-15% of this tonnage for add-on parts. How man man-hours a month would it take your fabrication workshop to sort through 450 ton of add-on parts? SMS has two solutions!

  1. Add-on part Steel Part Sorting (SPS) machine that will sort angle, channel, H beam, flat and SHS parts.
  2. CNC flat bar add-on part processing machine with automatic outfeed part sorting.
