Deep recessions have a way of forever transforming the business landscape, and companies that survive often emerge far different than they once were. One example is Decimal Engineering, a shop that entered the downturn as a contract manufacturer and emerged as a provider of custom parts and engineering services. The company cites Edgecam software from Planit Solutions (Forest Lake, Minnesota) as a key part of the investment that made this transition possible. By encapsulating repetitive procedures and best practices into easy-to-execute routines, the software has enabled employees to stay focused on value-added tasks, facilitated the shop’s efforts to automate production, and contributed to improved productivity and profit margins.
Decimal Engineering is a full-service precision sheet metal fabricator and machine shop specializing in the electronics, telecommunications, medical, computer, automotive and marine industries. Managed by brothers Alan, Mark and Kevin Garey, the second-generation family business employs 85 people and occupies a 40,000-square-foot facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. Since the Garey family purchased the company in 1980, its steady growth has required periodic facility expansions and investments in new equipment. READ MORE
