All operating areas are linked to a central NT network operating in real time. Engineering is networked to a central server for technical data and to the central Production Control System. CNC Machining receives control information from the Engineering network. Parts programs are downloaded and up-loaded with complete data integrity and management control.

We have developed an extensive CAD library of standard tooling, which enables Engineering to quickly and accurately plan the production process reducing set-up time and effective use of tooling.

Some of the services we provide our customers are as follows:


Electronic Date Interchange (EDI). Your direct electronic transmission, computer to computer,       of purchase orders, shipping notices, invoices or drawings to APPi via magnetic media, modem,       or FTP site. DXF or IGES format are used as basic data for CNC programs assuring exact       reproduction of the concept or design.

Interactive MRP Planning from our customer's production data, either electronic or paper, we       will plan your requirements and submit them to you for approval or directly input the production       releases to our system for on-time deliveries.

Early Supplier Involvement (ESI). Our Engineers will take an active part from the conceptual       phase of a part design to aid in troubleshooting all production phases, through final assembly.       We will offer the sharing of our knowledge and expertise to improve your position in the market.
