Increased productivity and shorter response times: BOBST optimizes a MASTERLINE at Rondo in Budapest
June 3, 2020BOBST helps its customers with improving the productivity of their machines. The concept of process optimization covers all areas of production, resulting in performance increases of up to 150 percent per order. This is demonstrated by the pilot project recently carried out at Rondo in Budapest. The renowned corrugated board packaging company and its customers benefit from the efficiency increases of their MASTERLINE 1.7.
The call for higher throughput, shorter setup times, lower operating costs and improved quality is omnipresent in the printing industry. Everyone wants it: printing customers and printing service providers alike. In order to help its customers increase productivity, BOBST has launched a new program that allows them to put their production processes to the test. The concept of process optimization is a service offered by the machine manufacturer to improve the productivity of BOBST machines. Qualified BOBST technicians carry out a thorough analysis of all process steps at the customer’s premises in order to identify areas where there is room for improvement.
BOBST’s expert technicians do not only assess the presses, but rather takes the entire environment into account in their evaluation. Among other things, this includes tooling, operator knowledge, safety in the workplace, machine condition, job layout and many more. The findings and recommendations of this analysis are included in a report, which BOBST uses to put together a tailor-made action plan. This shows how customers can improve the productivity of their production line. The highlight here is that, if the customer decides to use BOBST for the entire process optimization, BOBST guarantees the achievement of productivity targets set for specific jobs which are chosen by the customer. At the end of the process optimization, the results are recorded through acceptance tests and a compensation is issued should the results not meet the expected targets.
“BOBST sees process optimization as a true partnership between a machine manufacturer and printing house. We provide customers with the expertise and experience of our highly qualified technicians and help them to increase their effectiveness,” explains Arnaud Jolliet, Product Development Specialist Business Unit Services at BOBST.
