By definition, finishing is at the end of any given part or product’s production chain. Too often that means that the finishing of the part isn’t factored in early in the process, often leading to miscommunication and duplication of work.
In this episode of Products Finishing’s On the Line podcast, we hear from Jason Ray, CEO and co-founder of Paperless Parts (Boston, Mass.), a software provider that offers a quoting system that helps address the problem. Ray talks about not only his company’s solution, but the overall way manufacturing is evolving with advancements in technology, software and industry trends.
Sharing accurate, timely and actionable data
In addition to our podcast interview, you can learn more about Paperless Parts’ solution from the point of view of a finishing shop and a contracting machine shop. Check out a recent feature article written by Modern Machine Shop Editor Emeritus Mark Albert:
