	Improving product quality Reducing raw materials usage Making processes more efficient through automation

	Precast Concrete Batching System A concrete block plant found that people were not buying their blocks because their weight was fluctuating +/- 20%! J.A. King & Co. designed an automated batch controller that not only consistently made blocks with +/- 0.2% variation, but also increased yield and tracked raw material usage to further reduce inventory!
			Wireless Inventory Management System J.A. King & Company designed and implemented a complete inventory management, order entry and billing system to help a customer automate these processes throughout their warehouse. Using a symbol pocket PC barcode reading system, a PC application and a number of networked scales systems, we were able to give the customer a complete software and hardware package! This package ties the total weight of shipments and packages to customer orders, prints labels, relieves inventory and produces bills of lading and invoices for their customers.


	Finished Good Quality Check An automotive component manufacturer had a customer-driven requirement to weigh their finished goods and ensure that they were within a specified weight tolerance. Before contacting J.A. King and Co., the customer manually weighed a random sample, costing valuable time and not meeting the requirements to check 100% of the parts. An automated system was designed and implemented to check ALL parts at the rate of 1,000 per hour and to an accuracy of 1 part in 10,000! This system even accepts and rejects parts automatically! The system saved our customer countless hours in labor and saved their relationship with their customer!
