Tristate Electronic Manufacturing, a leader in Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) with over 40 years of industry experience, is strengthening its operations through strategic technological investments that directly benefit its customers. By implementing the advanced ISM Ultraflex 3600 units and the Auto Incoming Receiving station from Juki/Essegi Automation and the Nordson Assure X-ray Component Counter, Tristate is optimizing its inventory control capabilities to deliver even greater efficiency, precision, and reliability.
The addition of two ISM Ultraflex 3600 units has transformed Tristate’s inventory management. These state-of-the-art systems automate essential processes such as receipt, archiving, traceability, and component delivery, helping ensure that the right parts are always available on the production line. Compact and modular, these units feature antistatic trays, humidity control systems, and high-precision cameras to meet the demands of industries like aerospace, defense, medical, and communications. “The automation and precision of the ISM Ultraflex 3600 units have significantly improved our ability to manage inventory and work-in-process, traceability, and streamline production,” said Ryan Null, President of Tristate. “Our customers benefit from faster turnaround times and enhanced product quality.”
Complementing this upgrade is Tristate’s recent implementation of the Nordson Assure X-ray Component Counter, which provides real-time inventory visibility with exceptional accuracy and speed. Capable of counting a single reel in about 10 seconds and four reels in under 15, the Assure system accelerates inventory processing and reduces labor costs, allowing Tristate to keep production lines fully stocked and operational. “The Nordson Assure X-ray Component Counter has streamlined our inventory management, reducing downtime and increasing production efficiency,” Null stated. “This investment enables us to deliver our material kits faster and with more accurate inventory control, ultimately benefiting our customers.”
These enhancements were facilitated by Methods Automation, Inc., a trusted industry partner with over 35 years of expertise in electronic manufacturing solutions. Their support ensured that Tristate’s integration of both the ISM Ultraflex 3600 units, the Auto Incoming Receiving Station, and the Nordson Assure system was seamless and effective.
With these advanced systems in place, Tristate Electronic Manufacturing continues to set new standards for quality and service in the EMS industry, reinforcing its commitment to customer satisfaction through continuous improvement and innovation. These investments not only streamline Tristate’s operations but also position the company to better meet the evolving needs of its clients with speed, precision, and reliability.
