Signicast has become the industry's leading investment
casting manufacturer by helping our customers increase
profits with complete, high-quality components, delivered
on time, at a low total cost. We accomplish this through
our commitment to advanced Continuous Flow Manufacturing
(CFM) processes.
Rather than large batches moving from station to station
(as in traditional manufacturing), an unbroken stream
of individual investment cast components flows continuously
through our plant. Orders, even small ones, go from entry
to shipping with no interruptions. Signicast's unique
proprietary software monitors and controls the investment
casting process in-time – 24 hours a day, seven
days a week – ensuring our schedules remain 100%
on time.
ASRS
At the heart of this unparalleled system are
Signicast's multiple Automatic Storage
and Retrieval Systems (ASRS).
Acting as a material handling device as well
as a storage system, the ASRS units
automatically move investment casting product
from one department to the next,
minimizing W.I.P., completely eliminating
the need for forklifts and ensuring that pieces
are where they need to be, precisely when
they need to be there. An electronic tracking
system adds flexibility, allowing us processes
to change in mid-stream when necessary.
