The MESH Automation Difference
Our Commitment to Excellence: Our People, Our Craft, Our Quality
At MESH, our most valuable resource is our people. Since 1999, we have built a work environment that is inclusive, professional, safe, and orderly; one that fosters both personal and professional growth. Our team takes immense pride in delivering automation solutions that not only meet technical and budgetary demands but also stand the test of time. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence that our people bring to every project result in systems that are robust, reliable, and exceed return-on-investment expectations.
This same philosophy extends to the way we approach improving your production and supply chain processes. MESH applies Lean Manufacturing Principles to maximize efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance value. These principles—Value, Value Stream, Flow, Pull, and Perfection—are the foundation of our approach:
- Value: We begin by working closely with you to define what you value and ensure that our solutions add meaningful improvements to your operations. We leverage technology, experience, and practical solutions to create high-value, flexible automation systems that align with your needs.
- Value Stream: We map out the entire production process from raw materials to final output, identifying and eliminating inefficiencies such as excess work-in-process (WIP), non-value-adding steps, and human errors that drive up costs.
- Flow: Our industrial robotic solutions are designed to maximize uptime and Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) by ensuring seamless, uninterrupted production. We structure workflows so that each step is completed efficiently and without unnecessary delays.
- Pull: By optimizing production scheduling and supply chain processes, we enable just-in-time manufacturing—producing and delivering only what is needed, when it is needed—reducing excess inventory and waste while maintaining high customer satisfaction.
- Perfection: Continuous improvement is at the heart of our lean manufacturing philosophy. As we work together, our focus remains on refining production processes, reducing inefficiencies, and driving excellence in material handling. Achieving perfection is an ongoing journey, requiring a shared commitment between your team and ours.
A key element of lean manufacturing is the implementation of one-piece flow—a production method where materials and products move through the manufacturing process one unit at a time. This approach contrasts with traditional batch processing, eliminating inefficiencies associated with large WIP storage and excessive lead times. In a one-piece flow facility, robotic workcells and workstations are configured for continuous production, minimizing downtime and enhancing overall efficiency. Successful implementation requires coordination between your suppliers, automation partners, and internal teams to ensure a seamless transition to a leaner, more productive operation.
At MESH, we don’t just provide automation solutions, we build lasting partnerships that drive success. Our people, our craftsmanship, and our commitment to lean manufacturing principles ensure that every system we develop delivers long-term reliability, efficiency, and value.
