AMTECH IS AGILE, FROM START TO FINISH.
| AMTECH’S APPROACH | ADVANTAGES | HOW COMPETITORS DO IT |
|---|---|---|
| BUSINESS-AGILE ENTERPRISE CORPORATE STRUCTURE | Focus on our customer’s voice. A strategic, flat structure lets us react fast to customer and industry needs. Resources can be allocated dynamically so we are continually focused on customer satisfaction, rather than management layers & bureaucracy. | Multi Layer Departmental approach. Silos, Redundancies, often bureaucratic and slow to react. |
| A Tech Company | Latest Tech, either procured or developed. We’re proud of our vapor phase reflow, 3D AOI, 3D SPI, and placement equipment. We’re set up for demanding, complex builds. When the technology we need doesn’t exist, we build it. | Old Equipment with process limitation that can breakdown or lead to poor quality. |
| AMTECH OS2.0 | Connected – low-error processing. We use a state-of-the-art suite of software enhanced with custom API connectors and tailored AI solutions, streamlining our Quote-to-Procurement-to-Production process for accuracy and efficiency. This setup enables rapid communication and collaboration within our organization and with customers and vendors, saving time, money, and reducing complexity for both repeat business and new product launches. | Siloed and disconnected systems which create barriers to efficient operations. Without integrated software, they face double data entry, frequent errors, and miscommunication between teams, customers, and vendors. This fragmented approach limits their ability to make agile, incremental improvements, slowing down processes and adding unnecessary complexity. |
| PAPERLESS | No Paper = More Efficiency Our paperless facility ensures that every team member has access to the latest documents and data at the point of use, eliminating wasted efforts in document management. With laptops on the shop floor, our team can seamlessly access real-time updates and revisions, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. This approach simplifies data collection, streamlines processes, and ensures everyone is aligned with the latest information, supporting a high-quality, efficient production environment. | In traditional companies, an entire team often manages paper documents, updates, and distribution—a process that can lead to delays and outdated info on the floor. At Amtech, our paperless setup eliminates this need, providing instant, accurate data access directly to our team, streamlining operations and boosting efficiency. |
| AMTECH DT | And End of Line Defects Test. More and more we find the problem with assemblies is workmanship, not components. Because of that we developed and now offer Amtech DT. It can help mitigate potential manufacturing defects. | Expensive Functional or In-Circuit Test Equipment, Test Fixtures and Labor. |
| AMTECH API | Realtime integration with vendors to provide quick and accurate quotes. | Manually, Emails, Spreadsheets, & lots of time |
| AMTECH CAP (Custom Automation Platform) | Low Cost Automation, Better Quality. With our own robotics and automation platform, our team members are quickly trained on how to install, operate and program them. We can develop new applications on-demand so we can launch new products and scale. We support our own equipment and have control over spare parts. | Capital equipment is purchased at a high cost. Each equipment is specialized and cannot be re-purposed. Installation, training, programming has a learning curve per equipment. Support and spare parts are controlled by the vendors |
| Amtech PS (Production System) | Dynamic, lean, reactive. We took the principle of agile software development as well as lean and created a pull based scheduling, Just In Time Supply Chain Management, SCRUM based manufacturing, and reduced raw material inventory. | Companies implement lean or agile. It is rare they implement both principles. |
| AMTECH DFL (DYNAMIC FLOOR LAYOUT) | Lower Costs Our shop is on wheels. This allows us to change the floor layout so that the assembly line can be changed to reflect the parts unique routing. This leads to less waste, exposes defects, and encourages efficiency as well as teamwork. | WIP is sometimes shuttled to different areas in the production floor leading to longer production times and waste. Inefficiencies can be hidden in the routing because it is done at different times and places. |
