UNISIG, a global leader in 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.
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,” added 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.
