Now Offers Welding for Different Plate Thicknesses

From January 29, 2024, meviy, an AI-based parts procurement platform powered by MISUMI Group Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Representative Director and President: Ryusei Ono) will start offering sheet metal welding service for different plate thicknesses. This new feature enables meviy to auto-quote sheet metal welding of the parts composed of different plate thicknesses, with shipping as early as the 7th day from order receipt.
We will continue to provide time value to our global customers in the IA (Industrial Automation) industry through expanding our services and contribute to enhancing their productivity.

In general, sheet metal welding is often used as a substitute for cutting and has an advantage over sheet metal bending in that it can weld parts of different thicknesses. On the other hand, the disadvantage of welding is that it takes a long time to procure^*1 because manual welding is still prevalent even today.
In response to requests from many customers, meviy launched sheet metal welding^*2 service in November 2023. Since then, we have received a lot of positive feedback, such as "Delivery time is reliable and procurement can be done faster than before" and "Welded multi-part products can be easily procured, saving man-hours of assembly time.".
This time, by further restructuring our IT system and production system, we achieve to auto quote sheet metal welding for different plate thicknesses and expand the target shapes of auto quoting by about 30%.
This enables the procurement of welded parts with different plate thicknesses, which were previously not supported for auto quoting, with a shorter delivery lead time. In addition, the ability to run a batch auto quote without having to account for variations in plate thickness reduces the man-hours required for meviy, an AI-based parts procurement platform, Now Offers Welding for Different Plate Thicknesses About 30% increase in supported shapes for auto quoting procurement.
