Showcasing Supply Chain Solutions at Advanced Engineering

Between November 2 and 3, TFC, an AFC Industries company, will be exhibiting technical products and supply chain solutions at this year’s Advanced Engineering show. At the NEC in Birmingham, TFC can be found on stand G146, where it will be highlighting the benefits of its customisable vendor managed inventory (VMI) solutions, which improve manufacturers’ ability to manage inventory, while improving production efficiency. The team will also present a range of specialist Smalley and ARaymond products. To register for the event, click here.

Throughout the event, the TFC team will be on hand to provide insight into the benefits of VMI solutions, which include quality assurance and smart stock control . As part of this supply chain management service, the TFC team can create a tailored solution that solves production line inventory challenges, reduces in-house costs and streamlines operations.

Attendees can see a range of Smalley retaining rings that reliably and efficiently secure applications, including the new Smalley Revolox™ self-locking retaining ring designed for applications with high rotational speeds. In addition, visitors can learn more about Smalley wave springs, and how they save up to 50 per cent axial space compared with traditional coil springs.

“Advanced Engineering is a great place to discover the latest opportunities the engineering sector has to offer,” explained Justin Lawrence, Applications Engineer at TFC. “It’s ideal for those looking to find solutions to specific design and supply chain challenges, or hear from industry experts about how to address key challenges in the sector.”

“With supply chain issues disrupting manufacturing over the last two years, stock management is at the forefront of every manufacturer’s mind,” added Chris Billinge, Business Development Director at TFC. “Our VMI systems are tailored to each individual customer, to help improve inventory management, drive down consumption and reduce delays in replenishment to ease some of the pressure British manufacturers are under.”

Earlier this year, TFC became an operational business unit of AFC Industries, a value-added provider of fastening and vendor-managed inventory (VMI) solutions based in Ohio, USA.
