Otodata hosts customers for tour of Montreal manufacturing facility

Otodata, a Montreal-based company that manufactures propane tank monitoring systems, invited customers to its headquarters to tour its manufacturing facility. LP Gas Brand Manager Brian Kanaba attended the tour.

The tour began on the main production floor, where guests witnessed the process of monitor assembly, including programming and testing the PC boards, as well as fitting it with batteries and sealing it hermetically. After that, cables are attached and the monitor enclosures are ultrasonically sealed, ensuring a seamless, waterproof finish, according to the company.

Visitors also explored the shipping and receiving area, where the company ships across the globe.

The next part of the tour included a stop at the surface mount technology (SMT) facility a block away. At this facility, PC boards are populated with components using advanced SMT. Guests were equipped with anti-static gear before entering the cleanroom environment.

After the factory tour, guests were given a catered lunch and a walk-though of the corporate offices. Departments visited included R&D, marketing, customer service and quality control.

The day concluded with a presentation by André Boulay, president of Otodata, followed by a roundtable discussion that gave customers a chance to share feedback, ask questions and connect directly with Otodata’s leadership team.
