Introduction

In a significant move to enhance its service offerings, MEVIY, the AI platform for industrial parts procurement developed by the Misumi Group, will start providing heat treatment services for cutting processes starting May 12, 2025. This expansion aims to meet increasing client demands and optimize the procurement process for critical industrial components.

The Importance of Heat Treatment

Heat treatment is a vital process in the manufacturing of industrial machinery parts. It is employed to improve the strength and durability of metals. Traditionally, procuring parts that have undergone heat treatment involves creating detailed paper drawings, securing the heat treatment process, and preparing for various shapes. This complexity often leads to long lead times of about a month, causing delays and inefficiencies in production.

MEVIY has responded to this challenge by enhancing its platform capabilities, which previously supported heat treatment for round parts. With the upcoming release, MEVIY will also cater to angular machined parts with two specific heat treatment methods: Zubu hardening and vacuum hardening.

New Features and Enhanced Service

The decision to include heat treatment for cutting processes is a result of feedback and requests from clients, reflecting the growing need for high-performance components. By optimizing the system initially designed for round machined components, MEVIY has established a standardized production process that now facilitates incredibly short lead times, with parts ready to ship as quickly as just nine days.

This innovation allows clients to procure parts that require specific characteristics, such as wear resistance and hardness, in a much more efficient manner. Components like receiver parts and blocks that previously could not be easily obtained from MEVIY can now be sourced promptly, significantly contributing to the productivity of customer operations.
