At SACO Controls, our commitment to quality extends beyond the manufacturing floor to the moment our systems arrive at your facility. We employ rigorous packaging procedures and guidelines designed to safeguard Mosaic Mimic panels and their components against the stresses of international sea, air, and land transportation. By integrating industry-leading materials with precision workmanship, we ensure that every shipment maintains its absolute integrity, arriving ready for mission-critical deployment anywhere in the world.
Packaging Procedures & Guidelines
Ensuring Absolute Equipment Integrity from Our Floor to Your Facility
Purpose & Scope These guidelines outline the standard procedures for the packaging and handling of SACO Controls hardware. In alignment with Customer Purchase Orders and global technical specifications, these methods are designed to prevent damage, simplify handling, and ensure clear identification of all mission-critical parts.
Receiving & Inspection 1. All products undergo a final visual inspection to confirm zero damage prior to crating. 2. Any material showing signs of transit damage or foreign objects is immediately reported to Quality Assurance. 3. Discharging and movement are conducted via forklift or crane, depending on unit weight, with strict measures in place to avoid surface scratches or structural stress.
Cleaning & Preservation 1. Products are cleaned with specialized tools to remove all foreign particles. 2. Only approved, non-chemical agents are used to ensure the safety of sensitive electronic components. 3. High-sensitivity equipment is enveloped in Marvel seal (or equivalent) bags with desiccant to eliminate moisture during transit.
Crating & Material Standards 1. All crates and boxes comply with domestic and international shipping standards. 2. Fabrication utilizes new, high-quality lumber free of decay or structural knots. 3. To eliminate protrusions, all nails are spiraled and driven flush with wood-based materials. 4. Consoles and cabinets are bolted or strapped directly to the base of the crates to prevent shifting during handling.
Containerization & Weight Distribution 1. Materials are positioned within crates to ensure optimal weight distribution. 2. Every crate features clear markings for final destination, center of gravity, and tilting/shock indicators. 3. Equipment is blocked and braced to protect against chafing, bending, or displacement.
Documentation & Marking 1. Detailed packing lists are attached to each exterior, including weight, dimensions, and exact contents. 2. Markings follow international symbols with a minimum height of 1.0" for maximum visibility. 3. All labeling is cross-verified against customer technical specifications and P.O. requirements.
Crate Structure & Engineering 1. The skid features a bearing member running the full length of the crate for maximum stability. 2. Solid planking is used for decking over bearing members, joined by tie boards for easy forklift manipulation. 3. Primary structures consist of stud walls joined by top and bottom sills, enclosed entirely with 3/8" plywood. 4. External banding is applied to provide additional structural reinforcement for global transit.
