How to Create a Hardware Insertion Profit Center

Haeger machines Create Hardware Insertion Profit Centers by optimizing labor, improving quality, and increasing productivity through the use of technology. Haeger’s exclusive Single Part Handling technology dramatically improves efficiency in the hardware insertion department by empowering operators to install multiple types and sizes of fasteners with the correct tools and insertion force with one handling of the part. Single Part Handling is just that – it’s handling a part (picking it up and putting it down) just once during the hardware insertion process and setting it down complete. Our Customer – What does it Mean to You? Increased Throughput, Reduced Set up Time, Reduced Part Damage, Enhan

Our Customer - What Does It Mean To You?

Increased throughput – handling the part just once, instead of two, three or four times, gets the parts through the shop faster. This reduces the large stacks of inventory, which take up valuable shop floor space.

Reduced set-up time – once a program is setup in Haeger’s InsertionLogic software, its always there with all of the necessary parameters programmed in – no making adjustments each time you switch to a different fastener or part.

Reduced part damage – reducing the number of times a part is handled greatly reduces the chances of a part being scratched or damaged.

Enhanced scheduling flexibility – use only one machine for producing a part instead of scheduling open time on multiple machines. This very often reduces labor costs substantially.

Lean manufacturing – all the benefits mentioned above are critical components to becoming a lean manufacturing company!
