Wilson Tool International has significantly enhanced its manufacturing capability through the successful integration of GibbsCAM software. The company announced a transformation in its production processes by implementing automation and standardization, addressing the challenge of scaling custom manufacturing without compromising speed or quality.
With the use of GibbsCAM macros, Wilson Tool has automated its CNC programming, which previously required individual programming for each part. This innovation allows for quicker adaptation to different components, vastly improving turnaround times. Additionally, the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data directly on the shop floor streamlines operations, supporting consistency in quality and reducing training demands.
The strategy of standardizing workflows across various machines and locations ensures that Wilson Tool maintains the flexibility to ship custom parts rapidly, with possibilities for same-day dispatch. This optimization has proven essential for meeting high-volume demands while maintaining precision and efficiency.
As Jason Esch, Senior Manager of Operations at Wilson Tool International, highlights, the company can now handle diverse, custom parts without the lengthy programming delays of the past. The implementation of GibbsCAM’s automation features positions Wilson Tool at the forefront of efficient, intelligent manufacturing.
Wilson Tool International’s advancements exemplify how modern manufacturing facilities can leverage cutting-edge software solutions to improve productivity and service quality. The partnership with GibbsCAM underscores a shared commitment to innovation and operational excellence.
Wilson Tool International continues to lead through technological integration, illustrating the potential of automation in the sector worldwide. Their experience serves as an insightful case study for manufacturers looking to embrace similar advancements.
