Component design and quality control.

Unifab's in-house engineering department enable us to offer a range of services that far exceeds those found in many other companies. Not only are our engineers skilled in their profession, they posess extensive knowledge about the performance characteristics of the materials we use, the abilites of our work force and the capabilities of our production equipment. We do not isolate our engineers in some remote corner of our facilities. Instead, they are an integral part of both the development and production process, and it is not uncommon to find them on the shop floor discussing details with our staff, welders, and fabricators.

Because of the close alliance that exists between Unifab's engineers and production staff, we are readily capable of offering design assistance by taking an initial concept, a napkin sketch, and producing a prototype for evaluation. With input from the client the parts are further refined into production-ready components. Our abilities, both at the engineering and production levels, often speed the concept-to-production process, which results in quicker turn-around and lower costs. Unifab is the logical choice for prototyping and product development.

Different clients require different degrees of engineering input, and we gladly accommodate each to their individual needs. Value analysis is very often part of the service we offer. If we know of a better way to produce components we present this information to the cleint for evaluation. Material use optimization, through the use of computer modeling, enables us to control costs by minimizing the amount of scrap material left over from raw stock. Step sequencing enables our engineers to monitor and maintain quality control throughout the production process.

The task of watching out for our customers' best interests is a responsibility we obligate to each of our employees, and it is the engineering staff that oversees and monitors all operations. We adhere to the adage that having a happy customer is good, having a happy repeat customer is better. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how we may best serve you, and are interested in meeting each facet of need for prototyping, short-order runs, and large production outputs.
