Consultation Background
Company B in the automobile industry had planned to export production tables using multiple industrial robots in multiple lots to the United States.
Previously, they had outsourced the design and manufacture of power panels to a local company in the United States.
・ Wanting to improve the speed of business negotiations given the time difference with the US
・ The power panels are assembled in the US, so we cannot do trial runs and make adjustments in Japan
・ Because of time difference and delayed negotiation speed, personnel costs are not quantified for Japanese designers
・ Wanting to reduce procurement and personnel costs in the US
・ Compliance with American standards as an exported product
We looked for ways to improve the following five points in designing and manufacturing the power panels in Japan.
Our Response
Key Points
- ● Advanced design know-how is required to comply with ANSI/NFPA 79*2 and UL 508A.*3 We at IDEC Factory Solutions have personnel that can sufficiently handle these designs, and we also have connections with key personnel working at control equipment manufacturers, so we can work with closer delivery dates for parts than general control panel manufacturers.
