Abstract/Contents:Profiles John Deere Horicon Works which "has a long and rich history of providing equipment for the residential and commercial consumer, for agriculture, and for the golf & turf industry." Discusses reel manufacturing, explaining that "the only thing on the reel itself that is outsourced is the center shaft." Mentions that "they use an electrostatic powder paint process which includes a 'dip' or submersion bath." Discusses the use of auto-guided vehicles (AGVs) explaining that "they pull up to a conveyor belt loaded with pallets of parts, the conveyor loads the pallet onto the AGV, and it takes off on its merry way, headed to the station on the line where the parts will be used." Describes the use of LCD [liquid crystal display] screens, ratchets calibrated to a specific torque, and the process of testing engines on the line.
