Development of metallic rack packages for the metallurgical industry: Case Study

摘要

The companies that need partnership for pieces or components supply to compose their product, have concern with the quality of their packings. Nowadays, the packings have a fundamental part in the life and process of the product. The objective of this project was the development of industrial packings, like metallic racks, for machine components so that they propitiate improvements in transportation and storage. The metallic racks must assure the integrity of the components to be transported, ensuring their quality; especially they offer a system of easy fixation and handling of the components to ease the loading and unloading in the packings. The methodology consists in the following steps: recognition of the problem, detailing of the pieces and technical drawing; creation and technical drawing of the rack; layout and presentation; approval and final testing. Reduction trigged by the developed project was more than 50% of investments in packings, totaling almost US$2,000.00 per year and 10 thousand in 5 years.
