6 REFERENCES Why automated production flow solutions? Why is flexibility important? What is the overall benefit of a FlexLink production flow solution? EFFICIENT PROCESSES, INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION Because they increase the efficiency of production systems, enhancing the ability to produce the right products in time, minimize waste and operational costs, and safeguard quality assurance. It enables adaption to fluctuations in demand, implementation of continuous improvements and introduction of new products (NPI). By improving your product and delivery responsiveness in this way, you gain a significant competitive edge. Higher total efficiency and lower life cycle cost! This is achieved through production and capital efficiency, predictable production and by delivering the right products in time. TISSUE ROLL CASE: Increased efficiency and lower power consumption by 75 % FlexLink proposed a new solution to a supplier of household tissue products which considerably increased production throughput without additional machine capacity. At the same time, both power consumption and complexity of the conveyor systems was dramatically reduced. Furthermore, less manpower was required to operate the line and the working environment also improved. OPTICAL LENS CASE: Cut operational costs with intelligent automation FlexLink made it possible for an optical lens manufacturer to cut operational costs by implementing sophisticated automation and industry bespoke solutions.
