Our industry is experiencing unprecedented times. Never before has production capacity been at such a premium. We have seen different markets get active in the past but nothing like this. Right now in the United States, manufacturers can’t keep up with the demand for metal plate connected wood trusses. Now more than ever every process, every motion, literally every minute counts for a component manufacturer.
If you are a component manufacturer and you have not recently evaluated your operation from top to bottom, you are behind the curve. Truss plants across America are desperately seeking efficiency from every possible location. From how they sell, design, and process orders to how they batch, cut, and assemble trusses. Everyone is seeking ways to do more in the same amount of precious time. Large or small, one location or several, everyone in our industry today is looking for more. It is common in our current market for trusses to be shipped hundreds of miles to their destination. I recently talked to a plant in the upper Midwest working on trusses destined for Florida.
How good is your production process? How well are you leveraging your software to help you gain throughput in the same amount of time? TrueBuild® Batch can help you dial in your batching, cutting, and assembly processes. Multiple saw output with a single scheme. Paperless, hard copy, or a combination of both in a single scheme. You choose what works best for your plant and we help you get it.
Saws are of course only the start. How will any given job go through your plant most efficiently? Truss by truss, batch combined, or perhaps a few different batches going to different resources on your shop floor? TrueBuild® Batch can help get the most out of your equipment. User friendly and easy to understand interface tools make getting exactly what you want extremely easy. This isn’t your traditional batching application. Sophisticated tools designed by decades of on-the-floor experience ensure you get what you need out of the box without custom programming requests.
How long will this job take to cut, to set up, or to assemble? Now you can get those estimates without any complicated time tracking or plant management software applications. These time estimates are inherent to TrueBuild® Batch already and are at your fingertips.
There are only a given number of hours in every day. The challenges that today’s truss fabricator faces are many. Evaluate your processes and take a hard look at how you’ve always done it. The industry as we know it today will not last forever. Be ready for any challenge that the world throws at us next. Let our experienced staff of passionate people help you squeeze the most out of every process.
