Customer Challenge
SSI’s Industrial customer was looking to increase output in terms of units per hour while reducing the labor required to accomplish that. A tough goal indeed.
Utilized up to 25 part time employees to apply the hook & loop coins on a secondary pass on their line
Inadequate quality and quantity control of hand-applied hook & loop
Assessed inline needs to ramp up output while reducing labor costs and sought out opportunities to limit broad investment, and customized the recommendations to their existing folder/gluer
Recommended automation that accomplished both goals in a single-pass inline solution
SSI Solution Recommendations:
Automated inline/single pass equipment that would work on their existing folder/gluer
