Impetus to Invent

Sometimes the small things are the big things. When your biggest automotive customer requires you to stamp a part with a date code after it passes all upstream tests, you do it. Invent Automation made this cute little tool to accommodate three-part numbers with no changeover. While the task was straightforward, we believe the execution and simplicity of our design show off our design chops. Notice how the cables are hidden, the stamp tool has a designated place, and the filter is not just an afterthought. We like it and hope you do too!

Problem Solved

What Was Challenging

It actually took a bit of thought and vision on how we would pull off the clean design.
