Manufacturing Aesthetics and Supply Chain with ORI Systems

Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of manufacturing, while balancing lead times and unexpected delays

Who is the company

ORI Systems is a robotic furniture company that optimizes the use of small spaces with transformable furniture and architecture.

What is the product

An aesthetic emblem embedded in the control unit for a luxury robotic furniture system.

What was the problem they were trying to solve

ORI Systems had very strict design requirements for their metallic badge which featured the company logo, placed upon their systems controller. Due to the way in which they had specified their design requirements, the part had to go through 4 distinct manufacturing processes, including precision machining and hand finishing processes.

Why did they approach MACABItech

ORI Systems turned to MACABITech to optimize the design and source the part through our extensive network of manufacturers.

What was the process used to develop a successful solution

ORI System’s challenging design requirements were first scrutinized to determine manufacturing processes that could be used to meet their product vision. Precise machining, anodizing, and a hand-applied brushed finish paired with the final laser-etched logo delivered an emblem which embodied ORI System’s luxury requirements.

Once the logo design was complete, MACABItech identified a manufacturing facility that could be used to produce small batch runs of this boutique item. MACABItech mizmixed the throughput of work while minimizing scrappage rates by developing a straightforward and effective manufacturing workflow.
