Philosophy
Sigman/Kaiden has been a leader, for over forty years, in
the design and implementation of Integrated Materials Handling Systems. Our
continued growth can be attributed to an engineering and consulting staff at
the technological forefront of logistics systems for distribution,
warehousing and manufacturing. Whether you are planning new facilities,
adding to your present facility, or searching for systems to improve
material flow, shop flow, storage and order processing operations, our
professional analysis, planning and participation in the implementation
process can provide you with significant and continuing dividends for years
to come.
Working with your management, production, sales, marketing and financial
personnel our "team" approach becomes the method utilized to assist you in
developing the goals and objectives that will be used in the initial
planning stage. You will receive a total package for we survey and allocate
space and prepare a facility plan-with budget figures-which you can
incorporate as an integral part of your overall business plan...just like
your marketing, sales and financial strategies. Included will be plant and
warehouse layouts and materials handling systems for efficient productivity
and flexibility.
At Sigman/Kaiden we realize that there are many businesses that do not
require highly technical integrated control systems. Our goal is to provide
our clients with comprehensive, cost effective solutions to their material
handling problems. Previous studies and cases provided the desired results
without extensive expenditures and were implemented with a minimum of
inconvenience.
As an independent consulting firm we strive to stay abreast of the
technologies being introduced into our industry by attending seminars and
inviting equipment and systems suppliers to present their products and
services to our staff for evaluation. Recent design and implementation
projects have incorporated a broad range of technologies including: a radio
frequency controlled moveable rack storage system; the design and
installation of robotic palletizers for a well known vacuum cleaner
manufacturer's product line; a voice recognition system for bakery products,
a "smart" AGV in a refrigerated environment and a multi-station parcel
manifest system with automatic destination sortation.
The selection of any materials handling "system"-whether it is a storage and
retrieval system for raw materials, work in process or a finished goods; or
a system for order processing and order selection-requires the utmost in
attention and planning. Too often we see equipment and systems inappropriate
for the specific application, for expert assistance, please call us for an
objective review of your particular requirements. |
