From Manual to Automated: Ariat’s Transformation in Apparel Warehousing
Precision guides every phase of our manufacturing process. Our expert technicians and sustainable practices ensure our Lille-based facilities uphold rigorous standards. Each component is crafted for performance and durability, delivering dependable warehouse robotics.
At Exotec®, precision and reliability are the cornerstones of our manufacturing process. We ensure that every component and system undergoes thorough testing and quality checks to meet our stringent standards. Here’s how we achieve this:
Before assembly, every component is subjected to rigorous testing to ensure it meets our exacting standards. This initial step is crucial for detecting any potential issues early in the manufacturing process, safeguarding the reliability of our final products.
Our products undergo extensive cycle testing to simulate real-world usage conditions. This helps us assess the long-term durability and operational readiness of our systems, ensuring they can handle the demands of continuous daily operation.
After assembly, we conduct thorough integration tests to verify that all system components work seamlessly together. This step confirms that our automation solutions perform consistently and efficiently before they reach our clients.
Every unit passes through a final inspection and quality assurance phase where we check for performance accuracy and build quality. This ensures that every product shipped from our factory meets the high standards expected by our customers.
Engineering and Quality Control
Every Skypod® system begins in Lille, France, where precision meets innovation in our manufacturing process. From the meticulous procurement of mechanical parts, electrical systems, motors, cables, and steel frames, each component is scrutinized upon arrival to ensure it meets our high-quality standards. This foundational quality control is vital for the reliability and performance of every Skypod system we produce.
Specialized Assembly and Integration
In our facilities, highly trained technicians use digital tools to assemble Skypod units with precision. The manual assembly process is enhanced by a paperless, digitally guided workflow that minimizes errors and maximizes efficiency. Following assembly, each Skypod system undergoes rigorous integration testing to ensure all systems function perfectly under a variety of operational conditions.
Innovative Design and Development
Our proximity to our design team in Lille is not just geographical—it’s integral to our innovative approach. This close collaboration enables continuous enhancements and rapid iterations, allowing the Skypod system to evolve in direct response to real-time manufacturing feedback and customer needs. This dynamic process ensures that each Skypod system is built to the highest standards of today and is ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
At Exotec, sustainability is integral to our manufacturing process. Our commitment to environmental responsibility shapes our methods and material choices. We strive to exceed sustainability standards, aligning our manufacturing with both ecological and business goals.
Exotec rigorously tests each component upon arrival for defects to ensure high quality. We also conduct several quality checks throughout the assembly process and perform final integration testing on all systems to ensure optimal operation before shipment.
We ensure reliability through meticulous quality control, using only high-quality components sourced from reputable suppliers. Our manufacturing process includes multiple testing stages, from individual components to the final assembled product, guaranteeing consistent performance.
Exotec stands out due to our paperless factories, fully digitalized instructions, and detailed documentation of every assembly step. Our close proximity to our design team in France allows for rapid iterative improvements based on real-time feedback, enhancing the functionality and design of our products continuously.
Manufacturing in France allows Exotec to maintain exceptional standards of quality and craftsmanship. The close proximity to our design team facilitates immediate feedback and swift implementation of design improvements, ensuring that our products are both innovative and responsive to client needs.
Exotec mitigates supply chain risks by maintaining a strategic inventory of serialized products and employing robust forecasting to plan future production. We also practice multi-sourcing for each component to ensure supply chain resilience. Our strong relationships with European suppliers and the use of open contracts further secure material availability and reduce lead times, ensuring reliable delivery schedules for our clients.
