Typically, the manufacturer\u2019s core expertise is the design, development, manufacture, and marketing of their product, not in the actual build of their production equipment. In many cases, the <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/design-for-manufacturing\">design &amp; engineering<\/a> of manufacturing equipment requires intimate knowledge of internal proprietary processes. Because the equipment, process, and <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/product-development-npi\/\">intellectual property (IP)<\/a> involved are so closely linked, many manufacturers choose to design their own machinery. <\/p><p>To focus limited resources on core competencies, most large manufacturers engage with custom machinery builders to manufacture their proprietary equipment on a \u201c<a href=\"\/custom-machinery\/build-to-print\/\">build-to-print<\/a>\u201d basis. In addition to custom machinery manufacturing, a company whose product is a piece of capital equipment may elect to outsource some or all their product on a contract basis.<\/p><h2>Machine Builder Essentials<\/h2><p>Working with a custom machinery builder is an efficient way to manufacture proprietary equipment designs. A machine builder has the experience, resources, and is focused on the essential elements required to build-to-print their customer\u2019s proprietary equipment. These include:<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022 Planning<\/strong><br \/>Machine builders will have established business systems specifically geared toward the planning, scheduling, resource management and budgeting of machinery build projects. Whereas the end user may have to shoehorn machine building operations into systems and organizational structure not geared towards equipment manufacturing.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022 <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/global-supply-chain\/\">Supply chain management<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; including sourcing, procurement, and supplier surveillance<br \/>Machine builders have worked diligently to build relationships and approve suppliers to build a stable to support machinery builds. These companies bring a fully developed supply chain to the table as well as the internal framework to manage those suppliers.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In many cases, machine builders can often obtain OEM pricing that is more advantageous on commercial off the shelf items than large multinational manufacturers. Depending on the style of equipment and quantities required, a machine builder may utilize a network of suppliers in low-cost countries to optimize overall cost to their customers.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022 Manufacturing &#8211; including machining, welding, polishing and surface finishes<\/strong><br \/>Depending on the technical requirements of the custom machinery, it may be necessary for a supplier to have <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/design-for-manufacturing\/\">internal manufacturing resources<\/a>. For example, large format machining, manual and robotic welding capabilities, and surface finishing. These types of equipment can be expensive, space intensive, and require specialized personnel to operate.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Most end users of custom machinery, operating at a global scale, prefer to dedicate floorspace and resources to manufacturing their product not factory equipment for internal use.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022 Assembly, integration, and test<\/strong><br \/>A custom machine builder will be equipped with bridge cranes, high bays, clean rooms and other equipment and facilities, as needed, to efficiently assemble, integrate and test customer equipment prior to shipment.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The equipment\u2019s end user would typically have to build facilities and dedicate personnel for equipment manufacturing which share in the overhead burden of the overall corporate structure.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022 <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/program-management\/\">Project management<\/a><\/strong><br \/>Machine builders have project managers dedicated to the realization of equipment build projects \u2013 they are specifically experienced in system integration and equipment manufacturing. Equipment builds can involve thousands of parts, hundreds of suppliers, and aggressive schedules to manage. The specialization of a custom machinery builder enables the end user to leverage those core competencies without investing in internal resources.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022 <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/engineering-support\/\">Engineering support<\/a><\/strong><br \/>A machine builder will typically have a comprehensive engineering staff with capabilities in mechanical, electrical and software engineering. Even in the case of \u201cbuild-to-print\u201d work- where the customer has designed and provided the CAD drawings or blueprints &#8211; there is usually a need for engineering support.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The drawing package may have errors that need correcting, and redline changes need to be captured. It is also common for the machine builder to take on the programing, debug, and FAT\/SAT of the equipment, requiring software engineers. Machine builders will have PLC, robotics, machine vision and HMI expertise internally. Updating the bill of materials for obsolete parts and incorporating any desired design improvements is also facilitated with engineering support.<\/p><h2>Build-To-Print Manufacturing Services<\/h2><p>Build-to-print manufacturing services is a specialty of Keller Technology Corporation (KTC). We have four areas of focus in which we provide this type of service including: <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/\">contract manufacturing<\/a>, <a href=\"\/custom-machinery\/\">custom machinery<\/a>, <a href=\"\/precision-fabrication\/\">precision fabrication<\/a> and <a href=\"\/medical-device-systems\/medical-equipment-manufacturing\/\">medical capital equipment<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u2022 Contract Manufacturing<\/strong> <br \/>Contract manufacturing is when a customer outsources the build of equipment, machinery, or major assembly, to KTC. We provide contract manufacturing services for a variety of capital equipment industries such as <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/clean-room-assembly\/\">semiconductor fab tools<\/a>, <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/medical-equipment\/\">medical capital equipment<\/a>, <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing\/industrial-equipment\/\">industrial machinery<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/contract-manufacturing-for-diagnostic-equipment\/\">diagnostic instruments<\/a>.
