Earth drill manufacturer Little Beaver, has expanded its production capacity, streamlined the manufacturing processes and integrated new customer service software, the company said. The manufacturing improvements create an entirely computerized system that speeds the production process.

     With a computer numerical control lathe, milling machine and plasma cutter, Little Beaver produces consistent, quality components in minutes. The company also began metal casting its auger connectors as a single piece for greater strength and durability compared to the welded fittings previously used.

     “With the recent production changes, we can provide safe, high-quality, one-person earth drills 25-percent faster than before,” said Joe Haynes, Little Beaver president. “Process improvements also increased the drills’ quality, while new software makes it easier to track customer orders.”

     In addition to new manufacturing equipment, Little Beaver invested in a product management system that gives its service team the tools to more efficiently support customers. The system tracks orders from purchase to delivery, and the software links each order to a tracking number giving customers faster responses to inquiries.

     Little Beaver is based in Livingston, Texas.
