Operational Excellence

Machine Shop and
Research & Development

Northeast Precast's machine shop supports the various areas of our company and your construction project. Here, we design formwork using CAD and manufacture parts using our CNC machines.

The machine shop can handle any project, including those with long lead times or requiring parts that cannot be purchased, by utilizing our fleet of 3D printers and our CNC lathe and mills.

It is essential for Northeast Precast and our shop floor team to improve our efficiency and safety. Our 3D printers’ rapid prototyping has helped us consistently pursue this goal. We can utilize the 3D printers to showcase buildings that we produce. Printing at a smaller scale also allows us to demonstrate how certain connections work or illustrate the procedural processes in erecting a building.

Technology

Northeast Precast is continually advancing our processes and implementing new technology to ensure the efficient manufacturing of our precast concrete systems. We’ve developed in-house technologies designed to streamline the manufacturing and installation of our precast concrete systems.

Software

The Portal:
Our Custom
In-House Software

The Portal integrates seamlessly into our production process, allowing us to optimize schedules, track inventory, and improve overall project management. We began development of this modern web application in 2021, and is continually being updated. It is custom-built and gives us a unique advantage in the precast industry.

Key Features of
the Portal

  • Scheduling: The Portal allows us to efficiently manage schedules across every phase of production, from engineering and manufacturing to shipping and on-site erection. We can easily track timelines and ensure that each project milestone is met on time.
  • Batch Plant Integration: Our software directly integrates with our concrete batch plants, streamlining the scheduling and reporting of concrete production. This helps us maintain a high level of consistency and quality across all our precast elements.
  • Inventory Tracking: The Portal simplifies inventory management by incorporating QR codes, allowing for real-time tracking of materials.
  • Quality Control: We ensure that every product leaving our facility meets the highest standards. Nonconformances are quickly identified, documented with photos, and resolved with corrective action plans. We also track concrete test data and repair records, ensuring consistent product quality.
  • Shipment Tracking: We maintain complete visibility of shipments, enabling us to monitor deliveries and provide real-time updates. This ensures that your precast products arrive on-site on time, every time.
  • Safety Incident Tracking: Safety is a top priority at Northeast Precast, and the Portal helps us document and track safety incidents, ensuring corrective actions are taken and reinforcing our commitment to a safe work environment.
  • Staff Training: To maintain a skilled workforce, we can provide staff training through the Portal. This ensures that every member of our team is equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to safely and efficiently carry out their work.
