Customer’s challenge

The client, a manufacturer of drain pipes for fuel tank applications, faced challenges with the traditional production method of using standard coiled nylon tube. The drain pipes, featuring 1 or 2 bends of varying lengths, required strict adherence to specific tolerances. The existing manufacturing process involved a straightening and bend-forming process.

Adtech's Tailored Solution

We collaborated closely with the client to address their specific challenges and provide a more efficient processing solution. Our approach involved a comprehensive modification of the client's existing tooling, tailored to suit our bespoke processing solutions. This not only enhanced the quality and precision of the drain pipes but also streamlined the production process.

Efficiency

Our R&D team played a crucial role in driving process improvements. By working on modifications directly, we significantly reduced the typical lead time associated with subcontracting out tooling modifications. The streamlined processes not only lowered costs for the client but also ensured a quicker turnaround, meeting the client's specific needs.

Conclusion

We successfully addressed the customer's challenges by offering a tailored solution that optimised the manufacturing process for drain pipes used in fuel tank applications. The modifications made to the tooling, coupled with bespoke processing solutions, not only improved the quality and precision of the parts but also reduced costs for the client. The streamlined processes not only lowered costs for the client but also ensured a quicker turnaround, meeting the client's specific needs.
