19 Oct 2022
BFPA member Webtec, the specialist hydraulic measurement and control company, has launched its new manufacturing approach called Make it BLUE® – a four-step process to help customers maximise the productivity of their hydraulic machinery but without the complexity of costly consultancy. Make it BLUE has been developed following consultation with many customers, who have benefited from Webtec’s more integrated approach to product customisation through combining over 55 years of sales, engineering and manufacturing experience that Webtec is now formally offering through this process.
Make it BLUE, is a four-step process defined as Begin, Listen, Upgrade and Engineer. With each step of the process the Webtec team-work with the customer to really understand their requirements before moving on to the next stage.
Starting with Begin, Webtec shares its best practice and knowledge bank through its extensive training and educational material, which can be accessed on the company’s website at: www.webtec.com/education
Webtec Listens to the customer’s application requirements and assesses how real value can be added. By bringing together customer service, hydraulic system knowledge and product design skills in-house, the team works with the customer to produce a Blue Score Card, which will help to determine whether a standard product fits the bill, or a custom solution needs to be investigated further.
The next step, Upgrade, focusses on the changes that are required, whether incorporating the customer’s branding into one of the company’s products or designing a unique component, Webtec will find the best solution to meet the individual requirements. Webtec will share both digital and physical prototypes with the customer throughout this process.
Finally, Engineer. Webtec’s highly experienced R & D team work closely with the manufacturing team on the customer’s project, ensuring that all products are manufactured to a high standard and to the customer’s exact specification.
In addition, Webtec also offers Lifetime Support once the product has been delivered and continuous training and advice.
