Mitek Location - Winslow, Illinois Winslow, Illinois Speaker Cabinet Assembly/Worldwide Distribution Center Mitek's 140,000 square foot Illinois facility houses employees specializing in final cabinet assembly. With two paint lines and seven production lines, the facility also is the distribution center for loudspeaker component systems and enclosures worldwide. The Winslow facility features a sophisticated automated distribution system, which allows workers to process twice as many packages with the half the amount of manual labor from previous production methods. The technologically advanced system consists of a physically erected racking device with belt conveyors that take products to the consolidation area and put them on a skid, allowing workers to view all the products so they may build appropriate size skids. Also part of the system, a tilt lift moves each skid upright, places it on a roller and wraps it, eliminating the need for workers to lift heavy objects. Other advantages of the automated distribution system are the gravity flow racks, which automatically replace an empty skid with a new, full one, so workers are never waiting for skids.     1 Mitek Plaza Winslow, IL 61089 (815) 367-3000
