Boston Industrial Consulting Expands Its Simulation Capabilities
As business operations become more complex and diverse, the value of simulating a new process, equipment line change or conveyor layout proves to be beneficial. Through uniquely designed simulation, Boston Industrial is able to accurately predict and analyze the impact of new layouts or processes to provide clients with reliable information to make better decisions.
Simulation can be a powerful tool used throughout the decision making process.
Boston Industrial Consulting utilizes discrete event modeling software to analyze the operation as a whole, or perform a detailed analysis down to the individual SKU, location and person to provide an added level of accuracy and reliability.
Bluefin Hires BIC to Create its Expanded Manufacturing Operation!
Boston Industrial Consulting (BIC), teaming with Jacobs Engineering Group, was recently selected by Bluefin Robotics Corporation to design its new Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Assembly and Test Operation. The expanded operation will allow Bluefin to transition from a limited production job shop, to a mass manufacturing Lean based operation.
Since the award, BIC has worked closely with Jacobs and Bluefin to determine spatial and facility requirements, incorporating high growth with Lean Manufacturing techniques. Several proposed concepts of operation have been developed that will allow for more efficient production techniques to be incorporated into the manufacturing operation.
Currently working on detailed design, the team has focused on finding efficient means to use the selected site with more efficient handling and production techniques. New material handling equipment will be used to move heavier and larger products effectively through the Manufacturing and Testing operations. BIC is working with Jacobs and Bluefin throughout the Design, Construction and Implementation portion of the project.
Bluefin Robotics joins an ever-growing list of companies turning to BIC to achieve maximum efficiency and operational improvements.
