Assembly Solutions – Value Added Services

VAS and lean production

Customers are global consumers today.

They make purchasing decisions online, buying at any time and from anywhere.

And, with the number of consumers increasing worldwide, successful manufacturers must be able to quickly respond to rapidly changing preferences and demands.

 This is why defining a lean production strategy is fundamental.

But developing a lean production strategy without the relevant knowledge can prove to be a challenge. It is a process that requires not only an in-depth comprehension of lean production but also a clear understanding of the manufacturing environment.

Eaton has the necessary expertise, uses proven methodology and makes both available to your business. We collaborate with you to streamline and simplify your sourcing processes and ease component integration, driving down your costs and letting you focus on your core competencies. 

Value Added Services (VAS) give you a competitive edge

  • Achieve consistent solutions from a single, trusted source

Optimising production and processes – discover lean production

The following white paper addresses the subject and explains how to put the concepts into practice. The information contained within and the potential for optimisation it offers will enable small and medium-sized manufacturers in particular to react to current and future challenges and strengthen their competitiveness. 
This white paper contains an interview with expert Dr Reinhard who, as Professor of Turnaround Management and Outsourcing, highlights the link between theory and practice and talks about his experiences over many years in lean production.

VAS can show to your business the right path

VAS can bring efficiency and predictability, minimising waste and failure


Eaton aims to bring efficiency and predictability to your manufacturing and assembly processes. We’re fulfilling this need by creating optimum product combinations and programming devices with the aim of minimising waste and failure, reducing assembly costs and time, and simplifying sourcing and ordering. We believe that every business is different and therefore every proposition is tailored to meet the needs of your specific requirements. 
This is why we take care of all those activities that can be done upstream, delivering ready-to-use products with innovative and smart solutions

Our philosophy is that an efficient and effective process should be simple, linear and intuitive.

Because we know how much passion our customers put into their work, and we admire that, we show the same passion and commitment in delivering successful partnership solutions. We carefully assemble the components to give our customers the best service, adding value to each step – even the smallest assembly. 

Our offer

  • We carefully assemble the components to give our customers the best service, adding value to each step – even the smallest assembly.
  • Thanks to Eaton’s growing expertise in this area and our methodical and consistent approach, it is possible to create complete assemblies of our products, including added-value, third-party components, ready to be installed on your panel boards.
  • We can also optimise your components, such as HMIs and PLCs, by uploading your software and getting them ready to install.
  • Product combinations may also include wiring. Not only the classic way. We are offering something innovative: SmartWire – to show that we don't limit ourselves. This tool allows the components to be wired mechanically, thanks to simple crimping.
