Lot Control.  We believe that Slidematic has one of the best lot control systems in the industry. All applicable production is traceable at several levels.

• Material - Material is traceable to the steel mill heat number. If the steel processor breaks this heat down into smaller batches for processing, then we will use their process number instead.
• Plating / Heat Treating
  All material that is plated or heat treated is broken down into it's own lot.
• Warehousing / Shipping
  All product is warehoused by lot number. We know were each lot is at all times. Your packing list will contain the lot number of your shipment.

Slidematic Quality Certification System.  If your company requires material, heat treat or plating certifications, we have a completely automated system to handle this. We will email you electronic certs the night of your shipment. What are the benifits of this?

• You do not have to re-scan the certs into your system.
• You can be assured that every shipment will get the proper certs, to the proper person.
• No lost or un-readable paperwork.

Gage Tracking. Slidematic has a very strict, proactive gage-tracking program. All production gages are tested and/or certified at pre-determined intervals. All gage certifications are electronically available at any time.
