Bottom Line

Say YES to Automation: Where to StartDo I need to automate?Can you keep up with peaks of demand?Can you handle your next big order ON TIME?Are your customers demanding quicker delivery?Is your HR cost unpredictable?When you get that next BIG order, do you have enough trained staff to

handle it?

How SOON Do I Need Automation?What’s your monthly throughput?How many products out now? What are the product specsWhat’s your general cost for the product?Learn to calculate OEE, TCO

You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know. Don’t Let Lack of Awareness Keep You

From Moving Ahead!

Partnerships Matter When Adopting Automation

Build a Team!Full-time Hires are a Big

Commitment and Expenditure. Technology can move at warp

speed; partner with others who can provide the latest and

greatest. Seamless integrations can be well-polished so the

customer just sees “team” not separate entities that are

“partners.”

You Don’t Have to Break YourHR Budget To Access High Level Skills

Case Study: Our ENR-1000 converting machine in conjunction with the Shemesh machines allows us to

provide an extended product line to our customer.

Extending Product Lines Through Partnering

Aligning complementary services with a partner in order to provide a “one stop shop” means selling deeper into our customer relationships. Promotes streamlined, less complicated experience—no more multiple vendors!

Simplify to Amplify: An Improved Customer Experience

Ultimate Goal: Delivering High Quality End-use Products with a Favorable Margin. Consider:• OEE—Overall Equipment Effectiveness

• Efficiencies of current machineryvs. benefits of incorporating automation

• LOWER UNIT COSTS

• RELIABLE HIGHER-QUALITY PRODUCTS• GREATER PRODUCTIVITY, HIGHER THROUGHPUT

• CONSISTENCY AND ACCURACY

• SOLUTIONS TO DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS TASKS

• BETTER USE OF FLOOR SPACE

• MORE FLEXIBILITY: RAMP UP OR DOWN WITHOUT HR CONCERNS OR OT

• SKILLED LABOR CONCERNS/PAYROLL

TCO: What are you really paying for…or gaining from your converting equipment?

Beyond Price, The Costs Associated with Equipment Acquisition Make a Difference

When doing cost comparisons, are you capturing everything that could have an effect on your bottom line?

A TCO Evaluation is a Great Start!

Top Line Efficiencies, Bottom Line Gains

Remember, when considering the boost in output and efficiencies you stand to gain by incorporating automation into your process,

maybe you should ask yourself what’s the cost to your bottom line of NOT automating?

CASE STUDY:CUSTOMER: A manufacturer of complex water filters for potable water

PAIN: There was too much manual labor involved in building each finished product. Process was costly, slower and less manageable for quality control.

QUALITY GAINS: Adding automated equipment resulted in:-Greatly reduced labor costs-Improved effectiveness of product through higher quality.-New converting equipment offered reliability through repeatability-Savings in supplies: example: regulating glue through a robotic application helped save money in glue costs versus manually applying it by hand.

CASE STUDY:CUSTOMER: Rolled Wipes Manufacturers Needing Tail Control

PAIN: Unsecured tail is uncontrolled. Use of glue can be messy and have issues with FDA regulations

SOLUTION: ENR-1000 Automated Converting Machine with “Glueless” Ultrasonic Tail Tie

QUALITY GAINS: A coup for the nonwovens industry, once a roll comes off the machine, the Automated Glueless option makes the process less of a chore. Not only does it save time and labor costs, the convenience keeps skilled workers happy and allow them to focus on something other than managing hot, sticky glue.
