Swiss-Type Lathe Assembly Line Side Warehouse: The “Invisible Warehouse” of Lean Rhythm ——JSWAY CNC COMPANY

On the JSWAY Swiss-type lathe assembly line, the side warehouse is not a scaled-down version of a “big warehouse”, but an “invisible warehouse” of lean rhythm. It hugs the workstation like a silent conveyor belt, delivering turrets, bearings, guideways and other core parts in takt, so that assemblers “reach and grab”, avoiding cross-area handling, waiting and mis-picking.

The core of the side warehouse is “dynamic inventory” — only storing materials for the current shift or current hour, managed by colour, coding and light signals, distinguishable at a glance. It is linked to the MES system, feeding back consumption in real time and automatically triggering replenishment, ensuring “neither more nor less, neither early nor late”.

At the same time, the side warehouse is also a “quality outpost”: every batch of materials, before entering the warehouse, first undergoes random inspection of appearance, dimensions and cleanliness, ensuring that only qualified parts are sent to the line.
When assembly is completed, the side warehouse automatically recovers empty containers and labels, achieving “zero packaging, zero mis-placement, zero waiting”.

Treat the side warehouse as a metronome, so that every Swiss-type lathe receives the right part at the right time and in the right place — this is yet another lean insurance JSWAY provides for your precision manufacturing.
