ASSESSMENTS AND REVIEWS

Our Niche

We have built a reliable set of tools and resources to help you get the job done. These resources have been developed through 25 years of cooperation and collaboration with many industry experts. We specialize in sharing this knowledge with you through our comprehensive review process. If you are in need of more than just a review, we can assist in providing you with access to the same resources that helped build our knowledge base.

Resources

Understanding resources may be the most powerful tool available to anyone doing any task. Communication is the way to understanding. Communication can be time consuming and challenging. When results are not achieved, communication is usually cited as part of the problem.


We are experts in communication and an expert in the metal forming industry. What makes us different?  We understand business, including the many different facets of it, and the many languages within it. Let Foresight be a resource to your team through our extensive review process. We will help improve collaboration within your team, while providing access to our knowledge and shareable resources.

Experience

The founder of Foresight has been designing stamping dies, inspection fixtures, assembly equipment, press modifications, and machinery since 2006.  Whether you need a complete tool design, modifications to a part or process, or revisions to improve current challenges, our guidance can provide meaningful results.

DraftSight Logo

2D

Legacy designs or older equipment?  Not a problem.  Foresight uses DraftSight to manipulate geometry native to a 2D format.  We can convert your designs to 3D or return them to you in 2D format to work with your native software preference.

Solidworks logo

3D

Whether you need 3D design, or assistance with SOLIDWORKS settings, techniques, libraries and features, Foresight has expert advice to share with you.

Die Protection & Automation Equipment

 If you need advice on sensor selection, application, function or design, we have extensive knowledge to share with you.  We are experienced with simple proximity sensors, through complicated photoelectric sensors and vision systems. We can help your team see the difference!

Press control, systems, software and applications

SYSTEMS, SOFTWARE, & APPLICATIONS

We are not just design.  Our comprehensive understanding of all resources available to the metal forming industry, complements our design service.   We can assist you with other applications such as: press control software (Minster, Link, SmartPac and Bihler VC1 controls), Inspection software (LK DMIS/PC DMIS) and many Microsoft Products.  We can assist your team with anything from creating documents, to optimizing press control programming, and tuning press settings.

TOLERANCE ANALYSIS & INSPECTION

Sure, it looks like it could be stamped or fabricated.  However, the desired tolerance is challenging the feasibility of the entire project.  Consider a different perspective, one with Foresight.  Our expertise may help you identify a way to improve your process/plan to reliably satisfy your customer's demands.  If not, our communication skills paired with our vast industry experience may be able to help you and your customer find some common ground.  It may even be that a reliable second opinion, not vested in the long-term project, can help your voice be heard with your customer.

Performance & Cost ManagEMENT

Time is money

Money doesn't buy time, that is without Foresight.  Our innovative mindset defines ingenuity and can help create solutions when obstacles exist.  We cannot really buy time, but with a different perspective we can make a difference.

Increase performance, create time

With increased performance we can create time for other tasks.  This applies to human tasks, equipment and tools alike.  Whether we need to identify settings to adjust, variables to control or stresses to reduce, Foresight has sufficient experience to help you identify and adjust most aspects of your business.

Manage expenses

Reducing cost and managing expenses can help free up cash.  Cash flow is key to organizational success.  Insufficient funds can create stress in many different ways.  Deferred maintenance, substitute tools/processes, involuntary inspections, all have a negative compounding effect on cash flow.  Unfortunately, they also add to downtime and pull resources away from productive tasks.  Foresight has experience in identifying and implementing methods to ensure you have cost effective and efficient resources available when needed.
