A consumer-appliance maker engaged Nemi's LMM platform to scale its smart filter-coffee machine from in-house builds to quality-controlled volume production, with minimal-to-zero tooling, lower cost and greater localization.
A consumer-appliance maker that builds smart, self-cleaning coffee vending machines, brewing authentic South Indian filter coffee at up to 100 cups an hour, serving cafés, offices, hospitals and college campuses.
Move from constrained in-house assembly to quality-controlled volume production.
Set up a host-cell production line from scratch.
Line capacity of 400 units a month, with minimal-to-no tooling.
Re-engineer the onboard refrigerator to localize it and hit spec.
Compress the production start from 12+ weeks to 5 weeks.
Component engineering plus host-cell assembly, jigs, fixtures and SOPs, to give the line a capacity of 400 units a month, with the refrigerator localized to spec.
Redesign for tooling avoidance and DFM across plastic, sheet metal, casting and machining. Anvil drove the rapid redesign and simulation.
A sealed, food-grade container with a cartridge architecture for quick swaps, redesigned and localized to the spec provided.
Jigs, fixtures and material-movement equipment for inspection and assembly, with system and process documentation for a capacity of 400 units/month.
Anvil generated the jig and fixture designs; the LMM orchestrated the downstream machining and fabrication, start to finish in 5 weeks.

| BOM cost, refrigeration unit | Baseline | −20% |
*Benchmarks are management’s estimates, based in part on data provided by the customer.
Nemi compressed the customer's vending-machine production from prototype to volume in 5 weeks, more than 50% faster than benchmarks. Component engineering eliminated tooling cost entirely and delivered a ~20% BOM reduction on the refrigeration unit.
