EFFICIENT PROCESSES – INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION
Automated production flow The solutions increase the efficiency of production systems, minimizing waste and operational costs. Why is flexibility important? It enables adaption to fluctuations in demand, implementation of continuous improvements and introduction of new products (NPI). By improving your product and delivery responsiveness in this way, you gain a significant competitive edge.
What is the overall benefit? Higher total efficiency and lower life cycle cost! This is achieved through production and capital efficiency, predictable production and by delivering the right products in time.
TISSUE ROLL CASE: Increased efficiency and 75 % lower power consumption A solution for household tissue products considerably increased production throughput, without additional machine capacity. The power consumption and complexity of their conveyor systems was dramatically reduced. Furthermore, less manpower was required to operate the line and the working environment also improved.
OPTICAL LENS CASE: Cutting operational costs with intelligent automation An optical lens manufacturer cut operational costs by implementing sophisticated automation and industry bespoke solutions. Nearly 70 % of the lens production process was automated and delivery time was significantly reduced. “FlexLink was the only company with the degree of sophistication required to take on our project. This is why we choose FlexLink”, commented the site manager.
