Due to the ever-growing need for auto-parts manufacturers to be as cost-competitive as possible, manufacturers need to eliminate any potential source of downtime that would affect their ability to meet the demands of their customers. Vuteq Canada manufactures automotive interior trim, glass assembly, through vacuum forming and custom assembly. One of the least predictable, and most costly sources of downtime are failures in the vacuum forming / injection molding process, where ejector pins from the forms and molds do not retract correctly after ejecting a newly formed part, which results in damage to the molds and defective parts when the form/mold closes, thereby bending/crushing these pins. This results in costly downtime to repair mold surfaces, as well as losses in malformed parts prior to detection of the problem. Conestoga's research team will examine a number of techniques to provide an early warning system of non-retracted ejector pins, to allow the forming/molding process to be halted before damage to the mold occurs. This will minimize downtime and ensure that Vuteq remains a highly competitive, high quality manufacturer of automotive parts.

由于汽车零部件制造商对尽可能具有成本竞争力的需求不断增长，制造商需要消除任何可能影响其满足客户需求能力的潜在停机来源。 Vuteq Canada 通过真空成型和定制组装生产汽车内饰、玻璃组件。最不可预测且成本最高的停机原因之一是真空成型/注塑过程中的故障，其中模板和模具的顶杆在顶出新成型的零件后无法正确缩回，从而导致模具和模具损坏。当成型/模具关闭时，零件有缺陷，从而弯曲/压碎这些销钉。这会导致修复模具表面所需的成本高昂的停机时间，以及在发现问题之前损失畸形零件。 Conestoga 的研究团队将研究多种技术，以提供不可缩回顶针的早期预警系统，以便在模具损坏之前停止成型/模制过程。这将最大限度地减少停机时间，并确保 Vuteq 始终是一家极具竞争力的高品质汽车零部件制造商。
