TwinBin has taken off in Mexico and USA

Aircraft Hardware West have implemented multiple VMI programs at Aerospace Companies across USA and Mexico combining its Advanced Inventory Management Solution (AIMS) and the Hurst Green Plastics TwinBin System to provide a state-of-the-art VMI system.

A further personalization, in co-operation with AHW included printing the Locking Bars, Rack Headers and Rack accessories in the customers language of choice, meaning operators who do not have English as a first language are still able to understand the racking system controls.

The TwinBin System, in co-operation with AHW AIMS program, have been saving customers time and money with their inventory control system.

Customers can also use a Mobile App which collects data from the bins on the production floor and works in conjunction with the ERP system to process transactions in real time which is assisted by the TwinBin System.

Aircraft Hardware West recently successfully installed over 2000 TwinBins across 19 Racks into their customers facility strategically located in the production areas. The VMI system in full operation is allowing operators to retrieve hardware quickly, making production lines run leaner.

Stocking over 30,000 product lines and working within the aerospace industry as a global distributor of the world’s leading fastener manufacturers, AHW and TwinBin are a perfect match. Aircraft Hardware West offer a comprehensive inventory of specialized fasteners which in co-operation with the TwinBin System and state of the art bar coding system eliminate the customers logistics cost of purchasing, receiving and quality control of materials.

Krista Wildermuth, Director of Operation, Aircraft Hardware West, said: “Over the past three years, our VMI business has been implemented at aircraft interior companies needing a better way to deliver products to the production floor.

"The outcome of AIMS and TwinBin is a true hands-off VMI solution that benefits companies across all departments.”
