Flexibility
With its basic non-conductive pipe structure and fittings, NIS provides the building blocks for configurable material flow systems. These systems may be used to construct material flow racks, shelves, special carts, workstations, etc. This infinite variety of structure possibilities give you the ultimate in flexibility in usage and re-usage.
When a NIS structure has outlived its usefulness, it may be easily disassembled for component recycling, spreading the capital investment over multiple structures. The modular nature of the system allows you to reallocate your NIS resources for greatest advantage by disassembling old structures and creating new ones. The system has the ability to change as your requirements change. |

Saves Time
NIS structures are easy to design and rapidly build. The resulting structures may be immediately utilized to begin realizing savings. NIS puts an end to the time consuming delays associated with conventional ordering, lead-time, delivery, and fabrication.
Tools for Continuous Improvement
NIS structures are designed to be temporary. Keep the structure only as long as it’s needed. When the structure reaches the end of its useful life, modify/improve it or disassemble it and use the components to build new structures.
NIS is THE tool that supports Kaizen and Lean Manufacturing. Industry leaders worldwide, such as Toyota, Sony, Solectron, and Samsung make NIS available to support worker initiative. The NIS system grows with your plant’s collective design and assembly abilities. Use of the system and the sophistication of your structures grow with your experience and NIS will provide the technical support along the way.
Supports Just In Time Inventory Reduction
NIS structures need to be only as big or small as your material handling requirements. With the philosophy of personal design and assembly, you choose the length, width, height, and capacity of the structures needed.
Saves Space
You build NIS structures configured and sized to fit the space you have available, so you are not forced to adapt to catalog material handling equipment. With the structures possible with the NIS system, you make the most of the space you have available.
Saves Resources
A modest investment in NIS material will ensure that you will keep on hand the components necessary to build a wide variety of basic structures. This eliminates the need to order and await shipment for every project, resulting in timely built structures.
Motivation
With NIS, your employees are empowered to build their own structures, participating directly in the design and construction of their work area. With the user friendly NIS system, continuous improvement is natural.
Anyone can assemble NIS. No complicated drawings, calculations, or special assembly skills are required. Only basic hand tools are necessary. NIS supports the natural momentum of conceptualization, construction, implementation, assessment, and modification. NIS can adapt with you! |
