“In addition to the obvious reduction in handling, we also experienced a big reduction in employee fatigue. This allows our operators be much more productive during the entire day. Removing the manual handling of the large pieces has provided us with benefits beyond our expectations.”
Eton's computerized conveyor system eliminates manual transportation and dramatically reduces non-productive operator handling by consistently delivering perfectly organized component parts in the most efficient manner for each operation.
By converting batch processing to highly efficient unit production flow, Eton drastically reduces costly WIP inventories, shrinks production lead times, and focuses resources on the highest priority products. With the overhead conveyor, the system minimizes floor space requirements, creates greater visibility on the production floor, and reduces damages during production.
Eton Systems AB is the innovator and world's leading supplier of the Unit Production System (UPS), the renowned productivity and management system developed specifically for use in the sewn-products industries. Eton's UPS automates material flow through the production process and minimizes material handling for each operation throughout the manufacturing process.
Eton's technology and know-how enables companies to manage material and information in the most efficient fashion, including wall-to-wall data management from operations performed within as well as outside of the UPS system.
Headquartered in Sweden, the company operates with direct subsidiaries and agents worldwide. Eton Systems Inc. is based in Alpharetta, GA and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eton Systems AB.
