Case studies

Streamlining processes and lowering costs

Some examples of how actual users have used PrintoLUX® systems to lower costs and increase productivity:

Customer 1: 

This company invested in two PrintoLUX® Basic systems to replace an engraving process for the in house production of cable markers. Before, one person could produce 800 cable markers per day. With the PrintoLUX® system, the same person is now able to produce 6,500 cable markers a day.

 

Customer 2:
During the commissioning process, this company has to replace about 10 to 15 percent of markers as a result of loss, damage and changed requirements. In the past, lists of all the replacement markers would sent to the supplier. Delivery would be 2 to 3 days at the earliest. With a portable PrintoLUX® Basic the markers can now be produced by the assemblers on the spot and installed immediately, thus saving time and eliminating numerous steps in the replacement process.

 

Customer 3:
A manufacturer of specialized machines and equipment needed about 100 different markers and labels for each contract. These markers could not be ordered all at the same time, because the requirement generally became apparent only as development progressed. Obtaining these items from a supplier therefore entailed a great deal of administrative back-and-forth and created delays in the just-in-time process. With the PrintoLUX® FB-140 that the company purchased 12 months ago, all these problems have been eliminated.

 

Customer 4:

A machinery and electrical systems manufacturer had been using a pad printing process for in house production of type plates. Exposure to oil and heat caused considerable wear and tear on the plates, resulting in premature deterioration and reduced legibility The company was therefore seeking an alternate solution, and found it in the PrintoLUX® FB-3. Thanks to the outstanding durability of type plates produced with the PrintoLUX® FB-3, the company has been able to save all of the costs of removing, replacing and reinstalling the plates.
