SLIM has 13 presses to produce all the plastic components used in the wide range of products offered in the catalogue; a state-of-the-art CNC system has recently been added.
In another department, the components are crimped and welded before being assembled. The assembly stage is critical for the positive outcome of the component, whose quality greatly depends on its correct assembly: it is here that the extensive experience of our operators comes into play to guarantee that this operation is carried out perfectly.
The test is the last step of the production process, a distinctive feature that certifies the quality, which is monitored thanks to various protocols and customer audits.
A 3D printer has been recently purchased for prototyping, along with a numerical control milling machine, a three-dimensional pantograph that produces customized cases, to constantly meet the customization needs of customers.
At SLIM, we start the production of the various lots also according to the absorption capacity of the customers, through forecast rolling, in the case of big customers, and with flexibility for the smaller ones. When needed, production also takes place according to the Kanban method, synonymous with agility, by virtue of which standard codes can be customized to meet specific needs.
However, our technical team is always ready to support the customer's design phase to implement any customized solution. Stockpile management takes place with service logics, which fosters a diverse offer.
