Sustainability
Sustainability is a common theme that runs throughout the whole of Orbit One’s organisation
Our goal is to minimise our impact on the environment and climate, both in our own daily activities and in the work aimed at developing sustainable products together with our customers.
Qualified and sustainable services
As the market imposes increasingly high demands on sustainable solutions, we are continuously enhancing our skills and knowledge in relation to qualified services in the area of sustainability. This can be seen, for example, through a clear increase in transfers from Asia, increased demand for sustaining services, higher demands on the ability to design and produce sustainable products, and a greater need for analysis and control of materials.
Compliance with UN principles
Orbit One complies with the UN Guiding Principles and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The following three Sustainable Development Goals represent areas in which Orbit One has the greatest possibility to make a contribution:
Decent work and economic growth
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Climate action
Environmental, social and economic sustainability
Orbit One takes responsibility by including all three perspectives in the company’s operations: environmental sustainability, social sustainability and economic sustainability.
Environmental sustainability
Orbit One strives to reduce the company’s climate and environmental impact by taking necessary measures.
Social sustainability
Orbit One strives to provide a good and safe work environment with decent working conditions. Furthermore, Orbit One promotes diversity and has a policy of zero tolerance in relation to all types of discrimination.
Economic sustainability
Orbit One performs an annual review of sustainability-related aspects and publishes an annual sustainability report, which is prepared in accordance with GRI standards (Global Reporting Initiatives).
Orbit One Sustainability Report 2022
Sweden’s best Lean manufacturing produces sustainable results
2022 was a successful year for Orbit One, despite a number of factors that created a high degree of uncertainty. Component shortages, transport issues, international conflicts and the pandemic all posed major challenges. However, in summarising 2022, we can look back on a year characterised by record sales levels, a number of new customers and, not least, honourable recognition as the winner of the 2022 Swedish Lean Award.
Quality
Always the right quality!
Our quality is notoriously high, and it is guaranteed through carefully established and implemented routines that follow the product from the prototype stage to the finished product. The right quality is assured through thorough testing with the help of our general or customer-unique test equipment.
Unique quality reporting system
The production units in Ronneby and Stockholm are certified in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 13485 by RISE. The unit in Prabuty in Poland is certified in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
Another example of our dedicated approach to quality is our unique quality reporting system, which guarantees a consistently high level of quality and correct documentation and data for fact-based decisions on improvements, throughout the production series. Furthermore, the quality of all products is assured through Orbit One’s unique, comprehensive system of control and monitoring of production processes (Manufacturing Execution System – MES).
International requirements
Orbit One has extensive experience of manufacturing under international product safety requirements such as UL, MET, CSA and ETL for the American market. Prior to and after the performance of audits, we support our customers with tips and advice to ensure correct handling and mutual development. Orbit One also analyses any other international requirements on an ongoing basis in order to constantly be able to meet our customers’ needs.
Digitalisation for the right quality
Orbit One is a leader in digitalisation, and we have developed unique systems that result in assured quality, efficiency and optimal value chains. This is a result of what we call Business Technology, a way to transform the power of digitalisation into customer benefits and increased competitiveness.
OneTracker MES – traceability system
OneTracker, Orbit One’s web-based traceability and process control system, tracks the product and its components throughout the value chain, from goods receipt to delivery.
Orbit One iCheck – digital work instructions
Orbit One iCheck comprises interactive work instructions that are also used for repair registration and quality assurance. Orbit One iCheck guarantees that the latest version is always used.
Orbit One WebDoc – digital documentation
When the operator scans an order number or serial number, all relevant documents for the associated audit are automatically presented on the screen.
Dashboards – real-time KPIs
Our dashboards show real-time KPIs and metrics that are important for monitoring specific processes or a department’s performance. This real-time monitoring reduces the analysis time and shortens the time taken to implement relevant actions.
Automation – optimal efficiency and quality assurance
Not only do Orbit One’s robot cells produce an efficient production flow, they also facilitate optimal control of the entire process. The traceability makes it possible to go back and check each product down to individual level and thus guarantee the highest quality.
Orbit One Test System – ensuring quality
Orbit One Test System ensures output quality and provides everything from stand-alone off-line test systems to database-connected PC-controlled systems based on platforms such as National Instruments TestStand. Orbit One Test System handles all types of test codes, and the system can also integrate the customer’s own test codes with new test procedures specially developed for the project. The system is also connected to OneTracker, where all data is collected.
Orbit One is certified in accordance with:
ISO 9001:2015
Ronneby, Stockholm, Prabuty
ISO 14001:2015
