Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWire) -- 10/26/2016 --Transferring parts, materials, or work-in-progress goods to another processing stage is what Seegrid VGVs do best. Lorie King Rogers noted in Modern Materials Handling, that automotive assembly plant are all about keeping the line moving.

Every step of the process must be lean and efficient, including the delivery of parts to the assembly line, or lineside delivery. This means getting the right parts and components to the right operator, at the right time, with the right equipment.

The assembly line work areas are shrinking as companies work to lean down operations. Gone are the days of storing a day's worth of just-in-case product. Today, companies are storing an hour's worth of product and making deliveries just-in-time and just-in-sequence for the next vehicle cruising down the line.

Seegrid VGVs ensure that rather than individual parts being delivered to the line, more kits and assemblies are being presented to the operator's workstation. These kits, often housed in totes, give workers the parts and tools necessary to complete the specific components they are building, while assemblies, like dashboards, are complete units delivered lineside ready for installation.
