We recently partnered with a defense industry client to develop a custom material handling solution tailored to their automated production process—engineered to meet the demanding needs of high-mix, high-precision part storage and transport. The project called for a universal process tray that could seamlessly integrate into the client’s automated system—capable of holding multiple part diameters,…

This solution featured a precision-cut, multi-layer conductive fluted plastic insert engineered to securely house the customer’s circuit boards. It integrated seamlessly with their existing tray system and automated conveyor line, enhancing protection without requiring any system modifications. While thermoformed trays were identified as the ideal long-term format, the custom insert provided an agile, immediately deployable…

This solution employed conductive thermoformed trays designed to fit seamlessly with customer-owned injection molded totes, typically sized at either 9″ × 15″ or 15″ × 20″. Each tray featured multiple cavities to securely hold circuit boards, enabling efficient stacking and transport both within the facility and to external locations. The new custom handling method eliminated…

We developed a custom process tray for a commercial electronics manufacturer, designed to move products safely and efficiently throughout the facility. To prevent finger entrapment when placed on low carts, the tray featured extended handles formed by bending a custom wire rim. The structure combined sonic-welded conductive fluted plastic (CFP) with the wire frame, providing…

An automotive electronics subcontractor required a universal packaging solution to transport four different PCBA designs between Mexico and the U.S. This custom-engineered Durastat ribbed adjustable tote provided the answer—its CFP construction, card guide slots, and adjustable dividers securely accommodated all board sizes while preventing contact with sensitive components. By implementing a single, adaptable tote design,…

A custom thermoformed insert was designed to fit within an existing tote used in the manufacturer’s process, replacing standard dividers that failed to properly secure the product and had led to damage of high-value components. The tailored tray securely held each unit in place, eliminated prior handling challenges and significantly enhanced protection. The thermoformed design…

Automotive electronics subcontractors operate under strict standards for quality, reliability, and process efficiency. One of our long-standing partners requested a “work-in-progress” solution to streamline their production environment. Their goals were clear: remove non-essential components from the work area, improve line efficiency, and reduce the risk of physical and ESD damage. We delivered a custom-engineered system…
