Everyone — from the machinists working our CNC mills and turning centres to the account managers in the office — has customer delight in mind, and the skills and experience to deliver.

Not every engineering firm has IT know-how. Our custom-built ERP and shopfloor data collection system is developed in-house and updated monthly, so we can integrate with your internal processes and make doing business very easy.

Research and development with drawings, together with assembly work, is undertaken if required.

First Article Inspection report record in Solstrand's ERP

Traceability in practice

First Article Inspection reports to AS9102 are rapidly generated from our in-house ERP with dimensions direct from our Keyence measurement system without the need for an operator to rekey any figurework, improving accuracy.

Our Keyence IM-X1000 captures up to 5,000 dimensions in seconds, removing operator variability from every measurement.
