Time is arguably the most valuable asset that any business or individual can possess. It, of course, is completely unavailable for purchase. Time must be acquired by other means. To harness time is to become efficient, and the profitability of any business is measured by that efficiency. Properly maintained speed and uptime positively alter efficiency and, therefore, profitability. Weather you measure it in feet per min, meters per min or Kicks per hr. It is this ever higher target we strive to exceed. We want to maximize the output from existing equipment that may be 20 years old while we also investigate current and future equipment options for the growth of our business.

Thankfully, over the years, equipment choices have improved exponentially. These advancements aid us in reaching our efficiency goals. The equipment available in our industry today outperforms its ancestors to an amazing extent. Simple but tedious processes, such as moving materials from one spot to another, have vastly improved with the help of technology and automation. Systems like corrugated carton load formers, pre-feeders, vacuum transferring systems, and conveyors make laborious tasks into processes that are far more manageable. With all this technological innovation, speeds have steadily increased, and production times have lessened as a result.
