Users of mechanized assembly equipment now have an opportunity to standardize their plant-wide assembly machine vehicles, regardless of vendor choice, product size or volume; low or high speed; semi or fully automatic.
Machine builders save design and build costs; they can achieve more frequent turnover hence higher volumes. Machine builders are more certain of achieving planned-for margins by incorporating Agile Assembly and accessory components: shorter lead times result with benefits to both user and builder.
Agilecells, Agileslims, Agilesections, Agilesuper cells, never require special machining. As a result, they retain their integrity forever and are totally reusable.
