Wire, wire everywhere. As a busy OEM are you finding your manufacturing process slowed by pulling your own wire? It’s a common issue for many OEMs. However, there is an easy remedy. Outsourcing all your custom cabling needs to a qualified wire harness assembler.
Recently a Midwest OEM reached out to ALTEX to find a better way to tackle their custom wire assembly needs. The company was growing by leaps and bounds and the wire pulling step within their process was slowing overall production. Additionally, freeing up manufacturing floor space would be of great value to the growing business. However, the OEM did have a unique challenge – the wire assembly was a “tribal knowledge” process within the organization, and there wasn’t clear documentation as to specifications for the specific wire assembly.
As a strategic outsourcing partner and wire harness expert, ALTEX flew into action to assist. Our engineering team arrived on site at the OEM to view their current processes firsthand. Moreover, we brought a fully assembled unit back to ALTEX headquarters so our engineers could analyze in detail and create the needed specifications for the custom wire assembly.
As a recognized leader in the wire harness industry, ALTEX adheres to the A-620 standard to maintain workmanship standards and facilitate a better partnership with OEMs. The universally recognized wire harness and cable standard allows for an ease of doing business. OEMs can simply list “build according to IPC-WHMA-A-620 standards” within prints instead of long lists of bullet points with specific directives and rest assured that ALTEX understands the common language the work provided will be quality and within specifications.
From large to small wire harnessing, ISO 9001:2008 certified ALTEX Wire and Cable is a go-to resource for OEMs worldwide. Industries such as rail, conversion, agriculture and many others know ALTEX is committed to the highest standards from initial design discussions through engineering and production to delivery of products. It’s the ALTEX difference.
