Challenge
Previously, Epoke's specialist workers manually lubricated the fasteners before assembly to improve corrosion protection. However, managing inventory, locating the right fasteners, and manually lubricating them was not the fastest or most cost-effective solution.
Solution
With its 3-level concept, Bossard provided an integrated solution. The SmartBin logistic system resulted in the most significant benefit by automating the ordering process, ensuring all C-parts remained stocked at the right levels. Bossard also introduced special kit sets with pre-selected fasteners commonly used together as part of the SmartBin solution, reducing the time needed to collect parts from different bins. Bossard's stainless steel fasteners have no thread galling, and coatings protects against corrosion even in extreme conditions.
Customer benefits
The SmartBin system and kit sets have reduced Epoke's time, effort, and costs in inventory management and production. Bossard's fasteners with special coatings eliminate the extra lubrication step during assembly, saving time and money.
