Eagle Roof Tile and Vortex Hydra: working together to improve operational excellence in roof tile manufacturing.
Eagle Roofing Production, one of the leaders in the American concrete roof tile market, has always had as its goal of Operational Excellence in its manufacturing platform. Starting in 2018, Vortex and Eagle Roofing Products partnered to review the manufacturing process and determine the direction where automation could be best utilized to improve the operations. The initial focus being on reducing the hands-on labour-intensive job functions and then move on to improvements to “old technology”. Through strategic collaboration and the incorporation of some old and new ideas we have achieved some great results.
In just a few years we have been successful at completing several projects:
- Fully automatic robotic stacking lines in Rialto (CA), Phoenix (AZ) and Sumterville (FL)
- New servo driven cutting units in all production sites
- New aluminium molds including profile optimization in Stockton (CA), Rialto (CA) and Sumterville (FL)
