Case Study: HEBI Robotics achieves faster production and supply-chain agility with Fictiv

How HEBI Robotics streamlined their supply chain with Fictiv, to increase speed and agility

HEBI Robotics, an industrial robotics company in Pittsburgh that builds software and hardware for custom robots, faced quality, cost, and speed tradeoffs with prior suppliers that caused supply chain friction and forced the team to pass up several hundred thousand dollars in sales. To address slow lead times, inconsistent tolerances, and poor communication, HEBI turned to Fictiv and its digital manufacturing ecosystem.

Fictiv consolidated HEBI’s sourcing and matched orders to domestic and overseas partners, providing capabilities from tight‑tolerance CNC (3‑day lead examples) and gear hobbing (tolerances to ±0.01 mm, 6‑week runs) to low‑volume injection molding and quick‑turn 3D printing. The result: improved communication and agility, elimination of major gear bottlenecks, and 14,500 quality parts delivered through Fictiv, optimizing cost and speed for HEBI’s production needs.
