The article focuses on an in-depth case study involving Vistek Precision Machine Co. demonstrating how software helped a medical device manufacturer organize its systems in pursuit of ISO registration, maintain visibility over audits and cost tracking, and achieve FDA compliance.

The Vistek experience demonstrated that software integration and simplification streamlined the management of documents. Vince Visco, President of Vistek, reflected,“The software can associate a document to a training record and notify staff automatically,so we remain compliant."

Visco added, "This module helps us manage all aspects of our training requirements, and it captures the costs associated with training and the lack thereof. The days of the old paper training matrix have come to an end, further reducing our costs and satisfying the Part 11 requirement regarding trained and experienced personnel.”

Milling Centers
Vistek's 5-axis simultaneous machining create toolpaths across complex shapes that could not be machined on 3-axis machines. Various positioning capabilities enable our CNC milling machines to move in three linear axes and two rotary axes, which optimizes the angle between the tool and the surface of the workpiece to achieve a constant point for improved surface finish and extended tool life.
