PCB Engineering is a highly innovative niche designer and manufacturer of automated cable winding and storage systems. Their success in the marketplace has led to a growing customer base and the need to increase supply. Leed was instrumental in manufacturing PCB’s modular electrical cable dispensing racks to the company’s exacting standards.
PCB’s storage system requires steel frames to hold 7.5 tonnes each, and every frame must be identical and built to exact standards. In addition, the racks needed to be coated with a two-part gloss paint to match PCB’s product colour. Finally, all the racks had to be delivered in suitable stillages in shipping containers for export.
Solution
Leed’s response was quick and precise. They stepped in to provide volume production of the steel frames, ensuring that they meet PCB’s precise specifications. The frames were constructed to the highest standards, capable of supporting the required weight and painted to the prescribed finish. Leed’s manufacturing and logistics expertise ensured that all the frames were delivered in suitable stillages to suit PCB’s shipping requirements.
Customer benefits
Leed’s solution has brought many benefits to PCB and ultimately to its customers. The modular electrical cable dispenser racks provided by Leeds allowed for quicker breakdown and rewinding of cables for distribution, making the process more efficient. In addition, the system has resulted in safer handling of heavy components, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. The system also requires fewer people to sort and rewind cables, reducing costs for PCB customers. Finally, it provides more accurate stock control and material asset recording, improving overall inventory management.
In summary, the partnership between PCB Engineering and Leed has been a resounding success. Leed’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction has made them an integral part of PCB’s supply chain. Working together has not only met PCB’s immediate needs, but has also resulted in increased efficiencies, cost savings and improved stock management. It is a testament to the power of collaboration in achieving supply chain excellence.
