Project Detail:
Objective: The project focused on designing a new guard rail bracket that meets stringent safety requirements, addressing the failure of previous supplier’s products.
​
Challenges:
-
Develop a guard rail bracket solution that passes safety standards, replacing the inadequate products from the previous supplier.
Strategy and Achievements:
-
Innovative Design: Utilized Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to design a new bracket, ensuring safety and reliability.
-
Manufacturing Efficiency: Produced the semi-solid cast aluminum brackets without the need for machining, streamlining the production process.
-
Rapid Supply: Delivered production parts within a tight timeframe of 6 weeks.
-
Significant Cost Savings: Achieved a substantial saving of $180,000 in up-front tooling investment.
-
Reduced Production Costs: Cut the piece price by 30% owing to labor savings.
-
Production and Certification Success: Manufactured over 600,000 units, with 7 different certified designs installed on buildings across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
