Built around workflow

Short version of what PCI already publishes — one custom path per customer and product.

  • Production is centered on workflow
  • Covers design, specs, manufacturing, and on-time delivery as needed
  • Custom manufacturing workflow for your company and product
  • Materials management and quality assurance are part of the path

Step by step

How work typically moves from drawing package through production, finishing, assembly, and ship.

  1. design and engineering workstation with drawings and metal samples

    Design & engineering

    • Product design and engineering support
    • Build to product specifications
    • Workflow planned around your order goals
  2. CNC programming station beside production equipment

    Programming

    • Programs written for production equipment
    • Setup locked before metal is run
    • Part of the same end-to-end workflow
  3. PCI production floor with staged fabricated parts and equipment

    Production

    • Manufacturing run to the agreed workflow
    • Materials managed for the job
    • Inspection / QA in the path
  4. Infrared oven at PCI

    Finishing

    • ZP organic phosphate pretreatment on materials processed at the plant
    • Passivation for stainless; in-house silk screening
    • Painting — wet coat and powder on a continuous conveyor system
    • Special finishes — ask
  5. mechanical assembly bench with sheet metal enclosure and hardware

    Assembly

    • Mechanical assembly when the job needs it
    • Electronic assembly offered
    • Hardware and build-out on finished parts
    • Keeps more of the program under one workflow
  6. PCI shop floor with staged parts ready for pull / kanban flow

    Kanban

    • Pull from actual customer demand — not a push schedule
    • Responds when supply time is long and demand is hard to forecast
    • Product when you need it; helps manage cost of performance
  7. packing and shipping station with cartons, foam, and palletized goods

    Shipping

    • Pack to meet or exceed major-carrier standards
    • Special packing needs when you outline them
    • Bags, foam, cartons, palletizing, strapping
    • Metro Atlanta delivery with PCI trucks
