As part of its commitment to offer the best customer service, CO-AX Technology, Inc. has selected one of the industry’s most advanced order picking carousels to improve the accuracy and efficiency of its PCB assembly facilities. The Hänel Lean-Lift system improves storage and retrieval processes for greater workflow efficiencies. It allows staff to quickly and easily access the components required to complete orders or assemblies.

PCB assembly and other contract manufacturing projects can involve anywhere from a handful of parts to thousands, when considering resistors, capacitors, diodes, integrated circuits and more. The more complex the project, the greater the positive impact of an order picking carousel for methodical yet rapid organization and distribution of the proper components and parts.

One main benefit is increased picking speed. When components are stored in the carousel with an automatic feed, the automation helps decrease the likelihood of errors or incomplete picking. This increased accuracy helps reduce waste and improve overall finished product quality.

Inventory control is accurate and timely. Greater inventory control aids with design for manufacturing. This helps customers successfully navigate supply chain issues and complete more projects within budget and on time. This additional picking system enables orders to process and ship more quickly. Continuous improvement and technological advances, such as the order picking carousels, help expedite the manufacturing process to the benefit of our customers.
