The eFlex Assembly uniquely delivers a process assembly management toolkit that includes quality management, assembly line error proofing, time & labor estimating and process performance optimization for manufacturers using flexible assembly systems. The benefits of the eFlex Assembly process configuration tool include:

1. Full assembly line error proofing due to accurate and repeatable configuration of assembly station tasks to the validated process parameters.
2. Repeatable process execution of production operations by monitoring in-station sequencing and requiring all tasks be completed before releasing to the next station.
3. Real-time configuration of multiple model assembly processes and floor level control of the assembly process.
4. Fast and accurate lean assembly line balancing and process task revision without recoding or stopping operations.
5. Process owners and stakeholders can only work within their agreed upon framework of the assembly process as derived from corporate standards.
6. Respond quickly to improvement suggestions within hours and statistically evaluate changes.
7. Conduct lean line balancing quickly to changing demand within hours instead of days using plant personnel.
8. Plug and Play standardized hardware & logic platform reduces Engineering costs for OEM hardware and software.

eFlex Assembly translates into reduced operating costs, increased flexibility of lean manufacturing operations and improved product quality in the assembly process.

Reduced Costs

eFlex Assembly reduces costs of your assembly process by providing:

• Process Standardization: Process engineers, Industrial Engineers and Controls Engineers can work only within the framework of the assembly process that is derived from corporate element standards
• Continuous Process Improvement: Process and industrial engineers can respond quickly to improvement suggestions within hours and statistically evaluate changes
• Process Management by Takt Time: Plant personnel can conduct lean line balancing quickly to demand changes within hours instead of days
• Reduced Controls Engineering costs: Plug and Play standardized Hardware & Logic platform reduces Engineering costs for OEM hardware and software

Increased Quality

eFlex Assembly increases product quality by providing:

• Full assembly line error proofing: eFlex Assembly is designed to ensure accurate and repeatable configuration of assembly station tasks to validated process parameters
• Validation of a repeatable process execution: eFlex Assembly is design to monitor and ensure that in-station sequencing and all assembly tasks are completed before the product being assembled is released to the next station

The advantages of using eFlex Process Improvement tools are:

• Less time consuming
• Complete history can be taken into consideration while studying the process
• Many options are available to create all types of reports and charts using eFlex Reporting.
