Project Detail:
Lake Harbour create a replacement kit for a 50-year-old, out-of-production electrical set, specifically designed for trains. The goal was to ensure a seamless integration without modifying the existing assembly process.
Challenges:
-
Inconsistent data from samples, drawings, and technical specifications.
-
Mismatched dimensions between samples and drawings.
-
Varied coating information and non-standard material thicknesses.
-
Contradictory component joining techniques.
Strategy:
-
Collaborative solutions with stakeholders.
-
Detailed analysis of the part, focusing on functionality, compatibility, durability, and reliability.
Achievements:
-
Creation of a fully compliant replacement part.
-
A 97% increase in electrode surface contact, enhancing efficiency.
-
Improved manufacturing quality, resulting in a superior finish and extended part lifespan.
-
Successful delivery and installation of the first 100 kits in NYCT’s trains.
