Operation-wise, EMI is able to provide more products in a shorter time to its customers, with the same manpower and machine resources as before. “Ever since this solution was implemented into the machining processes, our company has added over 1,200-1600 production hours per each automated machine annually.” That is EMI’s reality today,” explains Rave. Manpower has partnered with Pfizer and is now hiring for various engineering positions in Kalamazoo, MI. “Imagine coming to the factory after a weekend, and finding that your machines ran uninterrupted throughout the weekend, producing flawless, consistent parts. Since EMI started using the acubez ™ automation solution, “dead times” aren’t seen any more in the efficiency charts, and the company’s overall efficiency (OEE) has increased significantly from ~70% to ~95%.
