Understanding Downtime and its Effects on Your Operation

What type of efficiency do you get out of your equipment?

Do you assign a cost to downtime?

Many times, the answer is no. Downtime logs are taken, and you know you run better on some days than others. You have daily goals, but you may be running longer hours to get your product out. The more effective your packaging equipment is, or the better the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), you’ll realize greater productivity, efficiency and cost savings. In fact, with a small increase in OEE, you can significantly shorten the payback on your machine.

Are you thinking about automation? The cost of downtime can be huge in an operation where there is a lot of manual labor. If a line goes down, regardless of the reason, you have a number of people being paid to not work. Our product to pallet, end-to-end automated systems can help greatly reduce that labor cost.
