SMT boards enable novel cash counter
Zirkon has completed an initial manufacturing order for Volumatic's Omal Link cash counter, which has just been launched across the UK, Europe and the USA.
Zirkon submitted the ongoing design-for-manufacture work it provides for Stannah Stairlifts into the "Design to manufacture" category.
The nomination has since been selected for the final round in this category and is also a finalist in the "Joint development of the year" category.
Zirkon has been providing Stannah Stairlifts with electronics manufacturing expertise, including design for manufacture, for six years.
Most recent design for manufacture projects that Zirkon has worked on with the stairlift manufacturer have improved the installation reliability of Stannah Stairlifts' product and created improved features along with greater reliability.
The company has also helped Stannah Stairlifts to create a low cost version of the product and has assisted with reducing stocking volumes and variants.
Tony Inskip, Director of Zirkon said, "We are thrilled that Zirkon had been selected as a finalist in these two categories, and we have our fingers crossed for July 10.
Design for manufacture is an area that we have an enormous amount of expertise in, and the work that we do with Stannah Stairlifts seemed to be the perfect project to put forward for the award scheme, particularly because the results have assisted Stannah in so many areas.
He added, "At Zirkon we work in partnership with our customers, working as part of their team as far as possible.
This means that we can provide them with as much of our knowledge and experience as possible in order add value to their products and their business".
