THE PROBLEM

A manufacturer needs a fluid power testing interface accessory to sell under their own brand without earmarking large amounts of capital on design, labor, parts, or manufacturing.

APPLICATION

Fluid power testing accessory for resale

CHALLENGE

Develop a test unit accessory a manufacturer can sell directly to their clients under their own brand while saving in-house development time, money, and overhead.

PROJECT GOALS

• Create a piece of equipment that manufacturers can resell as their own.
• Build units with components from high-quality, known providers.
• Keep overhead low.

SOLUTION

The manufacturer turns to the Henry M. Wood Company to create and build such an accessory.

• Henry M. Wood’s team uses their technical expertise in fluid power to create the unit to the manufacturer’s unique specifications, as well as show the manufacturer ideas they may not have thought of previously.
• The design incorporates components from well-known and respected manufacturers including Ross, CPC, HTM, Parker, and Freeland Wade.
• Henry M Wood produces each unit, boxes each unit, and supplies instructions for the end-user with each unit.

OUTCOMES

• The manufacturer now has a testing unit accessory they can sell under their own brand directly to their customers.
• On-demand manufacturing by the Henry M Wood Company ensures no manufacturer’s in-house labor is diverted from their key projects toward making these testing units.
• The manufacturer does not have to store parts related to the building of the testing unit.
• The manufacturer saves both time and money which would have gone toward training employees to produce the testing unit accessory.

CONCLUSION

Leveraging the technical know-how of the Henry M Wood Company allows the manufacturer to expand offerings to their customers without expanding their capital outlay on the secondary expenses for new product offerings. Personnel training costs, raw material storage expenses, and manufacturing labor costs are minimized. The manufacturer now has a testing unit they can take off the shelf, fully boxed, and send to a customer. When their stock runs low, a simple phone call is all it takes to replenish their stock.
