RedViking, a design and build company for manufacturing and testing solutions, has announced the creation of a new business unit, Manufacturing Quality Systems (MQS), based at the company headquarters in the Greater Detroit area.
"RedViking's MQS group provides unique solutions utilizing the latest technology and innovative ideas to effectively validate and test its customers' product with extreme accuracy and repeatability," said a company spokesperson. The three key product offerings are Dimensional Gaging, Leak Testing and Component Assembly Validation, which are incorporated within its customers' new or existing product and assembly lines. The formal announcement was made by RedViking President, Randy Brodzik.
As MQS Vice President, Greg Cameron explained, "We have been providing part validation and gauging systems to our customers for nearly 25 years working within the automotive, off-highway and aerospace markets. RedViking started by providing Tier 1 automotive exhaust manufacturers with gauging, leak test and validation equipment comprising bar code traceability, pin stamping, torque guns, banding install, shield detection and dimensional measurement. Over the years, RedViking has evolved in providing similar systems to other customers with products such as drive shafts, prop shafts and half shafts. Today we are integrating technologies to verify and validate assembly processes."
Cameron further noted, "All MQS solutions will be manufacturing execution system (MES) ready using our new Argonaut software. In the industry, there is more requirement to store part data and create a traceability profile of every part that is being manufactured by our customers. Working in conjunction with our Argonaut MES group, we can now can integrate all the data into a central location either onsite or externally in a hosted Cloud."
Vice President of Sales and Marketing Josh McNeely stated, "RedViking customers will benefit from a dedicated team of applications, engineers, service and sales support on these very complex systems." This new business unit will perform needs assessment, system engineering, system build, install, commissioning and ongoing support services to its customers.
Brodzik summarized, "We see this new business unit as a further enhancement to the relationship with customers because it makes RedViking a true end-to-end partner, offering engineering and manufacturing capability for production and assembly systems along with our established dynamic test stand, manufacturing solutions and manufacturing execution system (MES) groups."
