Customer Challenge

One of SSI's Industrial customers was looking to increase output in terms of units per hour while reducing overall cost. 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
  • Restricted growth due to slow turn-around
  • Slow output and inefficiency

SSI Solutions for Success

SSI Packaging Assessment
  • Assessed inline needs to ramp up output while reducing 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

Customer Results

Through SSI’s partnership, assessment and industry expertise, the customer was able to recapture their ROI in the following ways:
  • Labor Optimization: automation simplified the process, allowing for just one skilled operator to be needed to monitor the output
  • 2,000% increase in productivity: Increasing from 500 units per hour to approximately 10,000 units per hour
  • ROI Timeframe: 6 months
