[Case Study] Making Quantity Management of Parts Easier with Low Initial Costs

Cost-effective size adjustment and quality measures by replacing with vacuum-formed trays!

We would like to introduce a case where we solved problems by changing metal parts trays from EPS trays to vacuum-formed trays. While using EPS trays for the inter-factory transport of metal parts, we faced the following challenges: - A single lot of parts could not fit into one row of the tray's groove, resulting in unnecessary gaps. - We were troubled by shavings caused by friction between the metal parts and the EPS trays, making it a challenge to change the tray specifications while maintaining transport conditions. [Key Points of Introducing Vacuum-Formed Trays] - By extending the dimensions of the grooves compared to the current trays, we were able to neatly fit one lot of parts into two rows, making quantity management easier. - By molding appropriate materials from various sheet materials that respond to transport conditions, such as wear-resistant materials, we improved transport quality. - For small lots, we produced using resin molds, significantly reducing initial costs compared to EPS. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
