Meviy Expands Its Cutting Processing Capabilities

The AI-based procurement platform, Meviy by Misumi Group, is poised to enhance its cutting processing services by introducing support for components with angled holes starting October 20, 2025. This advancement is anticipated to significantly benefit industries such as automotive, industrial machinery, and robotics, addressing common bottlenecks in component procurement.

Background of the Innovation

In numerous sectors, especially in automotive and industrial machinery, components featuring angled holes—or sloped mounting parts—have become increasingly necessary. An angled hole is defined as a vertical hole with respect to a sloping surface, and the procurement process for these components has historically involved the creation of detailed paper drawings. Given the intricate nature of expressing these angled holes, this has resulted in time-consuming and labor-intensive drawing efforts.

Moreover, due to the specialized machinery and fixtures required for processing these parts, only a limited number of vendors could accommodate requests, resulting in supply instability and longer lead times. Customers frequently raised requests for Meviy to support components with angled holes, expressing the need for a more efficient and reliable solution.

New System Development

In response to these requests, Meviy has developed a robust system to facilitate price estimates for components with angled holes and has strengthened its supply chain to ensure steady availability. As a result, automated quoting for such parts will now be possible, drastically reducing the lead time traditionally associated with procurement from potentially weeks to as short as three days.
