Manufacturing
Electromech Technologies Manufacturing Engineering team is located in close proximity to the Production floor, to ensure continuous support for the detail oriented processes that our trained and highly skilled Manufacturing Assembly teams perform. They are an integral part of the Manufacturing team and are active in our Continuous Improvement efforts through the implementation of the latest assembly and testing technologies to the custom design and manufacturing of our own tooling and testing equipment. This provides Electromech Technologies with a competitive advantage by enabling them to offer a lower cost, high quality product to their customers.
Process Control
Electromech Technologies utilizes an advanced ERP system to ensure up to date production scheduling, which integrates the latest material and work instruction requirements to support both the New Production and Repair Station product lines.
Manufacturing in Wichita and Mexico
Electromech Technologies is based in Wichita, Kansas, the "Air Capital of the World", which has allowed them to employ a team of the best Manufacturing Assemblers in the area.
Electromech Technologies' manufacturing capabilites include the machining of bar stock and/or castings, custom ID/OD grinding, electrostatic fluidizing, machine/hand winding, vacuum varnish impregnation, custom rotor balancing, environmental sealing, painting, mechanical and electronic assembly, motor, blower and linear/rotary actuator testing, and custom packaging.
Electromech Technologies also owns and operates a winding manufacturing company, Rotronics Inc., located in Matamoros, Mexico, within a few miles of the U.S. border. Finished goods are sent to our warehouse in Brownsville, Texas for staging and shipping. This enables Electromech to offer clients shorter lead times, flexible delivery and reduced inventory costs.
The label “Assembled in Mexico” is becoming increasingly common on products in North America and around the world. The ease of doing business with the United States from Mexico is the main reason. Sharing time zones is also a great advantage. Just as information and people move easily throughout the region, so does raw material and finished products.
Supply Chain
Electromech Technologies' supply chain is governed by AS9100 Rev C policies and procedures. Electromech Technologies' suppliers are selected and then monitored for continued compliance with the requirements of Electromech Technologies and that of its customers. Their suppliers performance is tracked through scorecards and audits. Electromech Technologies also flows down all customer requirements including ITAR and DFARS.
Qualification Testing
Electromech Technologies can perform majority of the DO-160 Qualification tests on site, allowing Electromech Technologies to get new product to customers faster.
