Top 4 Benefits of Consistent Component Parts

Human error — when it comes to the quality of the agricultural equipment you’re manufacturing, you want to avoid it at all costs.

Fabricating the exact same shapes and measurements, getting quality cuts, utilizing raw material to it’s fullest, and guaranteeing consistent component parts is near impossible without the right machinery. You can try it on your own, and make adjustments as needed to make inconsistent component parts fit, but when you’re trying to grow your business and process more equipment orders, consistency is your friend.

Why Does Consistency Matter?

Why does component part consistency play such a big role in growing your business?

Simple. Part consistency makes it easier for you to process equipment orders and get them to your customers faster — giving you time to take on even more orders. The faster and easier it is to fill your orders, the more you can fill, and the larger your business grows.

Here are four other benefits to using consistent component parts:

Proud Sponsor of the 2015 Warren County Fair

As a locally-grown company, we at Fusion Tech take great pride in our community and regularly invest in making this a better area to live and work. One of the many ways we do this is by regularly sponsoring the Warren County Fair.

We believe in the importance of giving 4H members, cattle and pork raisers, pageant participants, and every other individual participating in the fair the opportunity to develop in their passions and skills. Doing so will only help develop the future of our region.

And we know the importance of investing in our region.

Fusion Tech itself started with three people in a garage just outside Roseville and have grown to a professional company employing over 80 local residents, and we’re not stopping! It was our local farmers, companies, schools, and residents who believed in us and the quality of products and services we provided. Without our local area, we wouldn’t be here today.

So make sure you pick up a Fair Book, find the Fusion Tech ad, read up about our commitment to this area, and enjoy your time at the Warren County Fair!

4 Reasons We Invested in a Booth at Process Expo

Process Expo is just under two months away — and it has us thinking about all the reasons why we decided to exhibit at this year’s show.

This is our first time at Process Expo (at any food processing trade show, really), and we’ve had a lot of people asking why we decided to exhibit this year and why start out at such a huge show.

It’s true, Process Expo is a big trade show and is a pretty big investment (have you ever exhibited at a trade show before? The costs are crazy!), but it’s an investment we are willing and want to make — because it benefits YOU.

5 Benefits of Hiring an Outside Fabrication Company

As a manufacturer of agricultural equipment, you know the pressures of increased demand for your product.

You put in the hard work of developing a new piece of equipment, spent months marketing it to increase demand, sold a few units, got your name out there, and now the hard work is paying off — more people want to buy your equipment.

A Good Problem

Congrats! It’s a good place to be. Your business is growing, you’re making more money, and people love your product.

However, at some point, the increased demand for your equipment will create a problem – you won’t be able to manufacture your equipment fast enough to keep up with the demand. Fall too far behind, and you’ll end up losing sales, clients, and ultimately, money.

The Best Solution

So how do you keep up with increased demand for your agriculture equipment? How do you get all the parts and pieces fabricated, assembled, finished, and out the door on time? How do you take on more orders for your equipment and not eat away your profits by having to hire more staff?

Simple. Hire an outside fabrication company to do some of the work for you.

4 Ways 3D Models Benefit Your Expansion Project

Expanding your food processing plant requires an incredible amount of planning — not just in constructing the new section of your plant, but also in planning where each piece of equipment for your new line will go.  One miscalculation, one misplaced outlet box, and you could end up overspending your budget trying to get everything to fit correctly.

So how do you avoid those miscalculations? How do you “see” all your new equipment placed within your plant before it’s even built? How do you guarantee that all your utilities will be placed in the right place for your equipment?

That’s where 3D modeling comes in.
