The River Navigation System, distributed by MC
Machinery Systems, Inc., delivers material-handling and inventory-tracking
solutions for fabrication shops. The automated system is designed to maximize
workflow efficiency and to minimize labor. The system can be easily expanded to
accommodate future company growth too, said the company.
"The River System's software can integrate multiple vendor lasers and turrets for seamless incorporation into an existing equipment line. It handles and inventories sheet metal through every stage of the fabrication process, enabling 24/7 material tracking. The system helps improve flow of not only materials, but workers and information on the shop floor," said a company spokesperson.
"To combat the cost and availability issues of today's raw materials, shops often purchase materials in bulk, which can lead to storage and inventory-organization issues. The River System's software provides an efficient way to monitor and track existing stock.
"The River System's software has eliminated our inventory problem," said Rick Vogt, VP of Sales for Tri-State Fabricators in Cincinnati. His company found a solution to its material-handling problem in the River System. "It gives us an organized and efficient way to monitor our stock," said Vogt.
"The River System automates material handling, dramatically improving production efficiency by virtually eliminating the non-value added activities associated with material management. This enables extended periods of unattended operation during production. The system makes it easy to automate the set up of small lots and plan multiple product runs in a single shift.
"Additionally, River System is backed by MC Machinery's industry-leading customer service and support. Automation experts will help determine the most appropriate floor layout for improved factory operation management," the spokesperson said.
