UNISIG, developer of deep hole drilling machines and technology, has launched a new assemble-to-order program for its versatile UNE series gundrilling machines. Designed to combine the speed of fast delivery with the flexibility of custom configuration, the program redefines how job shops and manufacturers acquire critical gundrilling capabilities.
“Gundrilling machines are not as common as CNC mills or lathes, but that doesn’t mean customers should settle for longer lead times, compromises in performance, or poor service,” says Anthony Fettig, CEO of UNISIG. “With this new program, we’re making it easier than ever to say yes to gundrilling.”
UNISIG’s assemble-to-order initiative maintains inventory of all major components of the UNE series, allowing machines to be assembled to each customer’s exact specifications – without the waste or delays associated with pre-built stock or full custom builds. With shorter lead times, often half that of traditional build-to-order systems, customers can get precisely what they need faster.
“At UNISIG, we’re always focused on what’s next, and our assemble-to-order program is a prime example,” adds Fettig. “Implementing this approach has modernized key areas of our operations by improving machine quality, shortening lead times, and giving us better visibility into service part needs and inventory management.”
This effort required deep coordination across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and customer service. Modular machine designs, synchronized ERP systems, and automated planning tools allow UNISIG to deliver tailored machines while maintaining tight control over quality, cost, and inventory.
