New Millennium Building Systems

The Client

New Millennium, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steel Dynamics, engineers and fabricates steel building systems and components for use in low-rise and multi-story construction - including commercial, industrial, healthcare, educational, and government markets. Engineered systems include steel joists, girders, and trusses steel decking, and long-span composite floor solutions. New Millennium can design and produce building systems to satisfy unique and diverse architectural and structural requirements.

The Challenge

The goal was to decrease downtime and increase productivity in automated manufacturing processes in our steel joist facility in Fallon, Nevada. When New Millennium ventured into automation in 2019, their workforce was not ready for the level of technology it was getting into. In the first few years, there was a lost of trial and error, ans learning hard lessons on the fly.

The Solution and Manufacture Nevada's Role

When the idea of traning their workforce arose, Manufacture Nevada assisted with facilitating training solutions for automation, mechatronics, hydraulics, pnoeumatics, and general mechanical applications.

Results

New Millennium has decreased downtime on automated processes by 70%, increased automation processess' efficiency by 40%, and commercialized the products that the Automation processes create, ultimately saving hundreds of dollars per year in operating and material costs.

New Millennium's Testimonial on Manufacture Nevada's Impact

"Without the help of Manufacture Nevada, we would be years behind in training on the level of technology we have implemented in our facility. Jarrad Prida is one of the best in the game and has opened doors for our workforce's knowledge that we would have not been able to find on our own. He has created flexible learning that's required for our robust production environment. We look forward to getting the rest of our workforce at our six other facilities across the US and Mexico up to the same level of comprehension in the future." — Rob Harrison, Manufacturing Development Manager
