FlexQube has won an order to a train manufacturer in New York worth 1.6MSEK. FlexQube has been working with this train manufacturer for over 9 months. During this time there was an ongoing process of online exploratory meetings. During these online meetings, we were able to outline the needs of the customer and begin sketching ideas for cart and rack designs. The purpose of this project was to improve the process of doors being delivered to the line. At first, the custom carts will be used to hold the materials between the supplier and the manufacturing plant. After which they will be placed on carts to be delivered to the manufacturing line.
