Exceptional Production Speed and High Quality for Data Center Truss and Panel Project

Our client ran into a crucial capacity issue and looked for the right partner to support their efforts to produce more than 1,300 weldments major data center. Our time-tested and efficient production process was the perfect match. The project involved laser cutting, forming, welding, paint, and assembly operations.

Problem Statement

The client simply couldn’t produce enough 12-foot-long weldments in time for the data center construction schedule. The company trusted our experience, production standards and proven ability to meet tight deadlines. The product became a critical part of the data centers so workers could access and manage the infrastructure and cooling systems.

Methodology

Without sacrificing quality, we organized our teams so the first sample could be ready in four weeks instead of 8-12 weeks. Ultimately, the final units were shipped over a six-week period, always on time. To honor our commitment, we:

  • Utilized certified welders, robot operators and painters and assemblers
  • Produced parts with metal sheets and tubing, laser cutting, press brake forming, and painting
  • Dedicated certified welding inspector to meet expectations that exceeded industry standards.
  • Arranged to ship directly to the data center construction site as needed.

Objectives

Skills

We hire, train and retain the best talent so we’re always able to accommodate clients with time sensitive needs.

Vigilance is the key, which means we immediately minimize any issues while focusing on quality at every point of production.

Equipment

We always use the best equipment and operators to ensure that we produce the right parts on time. For example, our Robotic Welding Group uses Touch Sensing, Seam Tracking, and other technologies to support our fast and repeatable process.

Analysis

Our client was so impressed with our process, knowledge and responsiveness that we secured an initial order over $1 Million. This opened additional opportunities and projects to continue to support them.

The client sought our advice on how our production process could benefit their own internal process. Our use of cranes and Robotic Ferris Wheel Cells help maximize production.

Recommendations

Based on the successful outcomes of this case study, we recommend that clients facing similar challenges consider:

  • Alacriant’s track record of stepping up in the middle of an urgent issue.
  • Taking advantage of our design, engineering and operational expertise and insights for your own business.
  • Leveraging our prototype divisions for quick iterations and trials.

Conclusion

By effectively showcasing our processes and capabilities, we quickly assured our client that we were the best fit to help them get all the truss and plate packages to the data center within the set timelines. Our case study emphasizes that quality can be maintained even when a project moves fast when the work is placed int the right hands with the right people and equipment.
