How Cutting Automation Can Dramatically Improve Your Production Processes
Are you currently cutting your materials by hand?
Paying staff to wind coils of materials?
Using dated machinery?
Want to save time and money?
Adding automated cutting systems to part of your production processes could transform your business into a more efficient, productive and most importantly profitable business. Automation involves using computerised control systems to process materials. Hanbury-Autogil have worked with many companies who decided to take their production to the next level by introducing automatic cutting into their processes. Many people think that automation only works for large companies, however smaller companies and companies who need assistance when demand increases can benefit greatly.
Examples of systems we have automated
- Sheeting materials for wound dressings
- Slitting/rewinding rolls of adhesive tapes
- Die-cutting seed disks
- Press cutting plastic packaging
- Kiss cutting adhesive labels
- Laser cutting steel SMT stencils
- High speed cutting for cable labels
- Laser printing labels
- Hose coiling
For smaller businesses, deciding whether to invest in automated cutting systems for your business is an important choice to make. If you want to grow globally, or even just beat your competitors nationally, it might be time to invest in advanced manufacturing systems. This will allow you to increase productivity to beat tender deliverables and win orders from customers outside your current industry. Continuing to use old equipment may limit the growth of your business.
