Design Technology
Weastec utilizes all of its resources to get product from concept into mass productions
expeditiously as possible, always designing with quality, cost, ease of assembly, and
durability in mind. The latest 3D modeling software is applied in our design
process to minimize design time, increase accuracy, and eliminate costly delays.
Along with our Japanese parent company, Toyo Denso, we have complete product
development capabilities allowing Weastec to move from conceptual design to
prototyping to validation testing to mass production. Some of our test /analysis
equipment include:
Thermal Cycling chambers, Humidity chambers, SEM, High Temperature ovens,
Salt Spray Chamber, Bench Test equipment, X-Ray machine, CMM, and Optical
Comparator. In addition we also incorporate different prototyping techniques both
in-house and from outside suppliers to get samples to our customers as soon
as possible for evaluation and testing. Designers always incorporate ease of
assembly and functionality into their designs while ensuring high reliability, low
cost, and impeccable quality.

Information Technologyxxx
Weastec understands that information systems serve as a very important
technology in the success of a global business. The information systems at
Weastec are built around one of the industry’s leading Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) software applications called XA, marketed by Infor.
The ERP product consists of many functionally deep and fully integrated
modules. Weastec first installed this ERP system in 1991 and has continued to add
modules as needs arise. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) needs are
supported using Infor’s Auto Release modules. These modules
interface directly to Infor XA minimizing redundant data. An asset management
system called Avantis XA from Invensys is used to support areas of asset tracking,
machine maintenance, MRO material usage and inventory, and requisition of
maintenance material. This system also interfaces directly to Infor XA.
Weastec’s also hosts its own website, e-mail system and in-house developed Notes applications. A LPAR environment is used on an IBM i5 model 525-0909 to house the above applications. Additionally, Weastec uses eight IBM xSeries servers to support over 170 networked PC’s. The computers at Greenfield, Ohio ,Seaman, Ohio and Dublin,Ohio are connected to Hillsboro, Ohio using dedicated T1communication lines. These communication lines not only support data but also voice and fax transmission.
Weastec continues to review information technology as it becomes available and looks for areas that it can be used to effectively support the growing needs of our customers.
