Kitting: How does DIATEX optimise your composite processes?

What is custom kitting in the composites industry?

Kitting involves providing ready-to-use consumables that consist of pre-cut or pre-assembled products required for a production operation.

In the field of composites, this includes, in particular:

• pre-cut technical fabrics
• plastic wrap, felt and netting
• vacuum-sealing supplies, with or without sealant
• Complete, ready-to-install kits

The goal is simple: to reduce preparation time, ensure process reliability and optimise costs.

Why choose DIATEX’s kitting service?

DIATEX offers a comprehensive, customised kitting solution designed to meet the highest industrial standards.

What are the practical benefits of kitting?

• Reduce production times
• Time savings on preparation tasks
• Focus your workforce on manufacturing parts rather than cutting products
• Reducing human errors
• Control of production costs
• Material optimisation and waste reduction
• Improving process repeatability

Each kit is designed according to precise specifications provided by the customer and reviewed by DIATEX’s technical teams.

How does custom kitting work at DIATEX?

The kitting process relies on an efficient industrial organisation:

1. Needs analysis

DIATEX reviews your specifications to determine:

• the necessary materials
• the dimensions
• technical constraints (thermal, mechanical, process-related)

2. Custom cutting

The materials are cut with industrial precision, ensuring:

• perfect conformity of the parts
• excellent repeatability
• a reduction in material losses

3. Assembling the kits

The components are then packaged into ready-to-use kits:

• option to apply sealant directly onto the film
• Complete preparation of supplies
• production-optimised organization
