This platform enables quality control and compliance to be carried out during the manufacturing phase of each of the component parts and sub-assemblies right through to the final overall unit assembly. Through this pathway it is also possible for us to provide inspection records to customers upon request for their own personal internal records or as a verification of compliance, further more batch and serial number traceability of manufactured products can also be provided when this is beneficial to us or requested by our customers.

In some instances external supply chain management is central to our manufacturing process as our business policy is to engage with specialist service providers where necessary in order to allow for the highest possible standard of product to be produced at a market competitive price. Our Production and planning personnel are trained in and utilise the Solid Edge Drawing package to assist with design and the integrity of information that is being transferred to our external service providers such as Laser Processing and Engineering Design Certification. Other external supply chain services available through DIX include CNC Machined components, Surface treatment, Welding Inspection and Certification.
