CASE STUDY 03 · Electronics Manufacturing Services
Fortune 500 Contract Electronics Manufacturer
Global EMS provider · High-volume PCB assembly operations
THE OUTCOME
Arcessio showed that a line-stopping spare part was both lighter and cheaper in a different material — solving a payload problem and a lead-time problem with one recommendation.
Spare parts delivered on demand, down from 30 days
SLS Nylon 12 unit cost against the incumbent metal CNC quotation
Jig weight reduced below the robot's carrying limit
The challenge
A robotic jig moving PCBs between line stations exceeded the robot's payload limit, and broke often enough that spare-part lead times were holding up production.
The solution
The full assembly CAD file was screened part by part on bounding box, wall thickness, material strength, cost and lead time. Qualifying parts were matched to SLS Nylon 12 and a supplier.
Manufacturing intelligence used
