The link between sustainability and productivity can perhaps be best illustrated by looking at the three main components of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE): uptime, throughput and quality.

Learn more about aech of these factors in our blog.

Optimizing the efficiency of your production line's performance can make a big difference in your overall success, as well as the efficiency of your equipment. Greater productivity, along with shorter planned downtime, also means less waste - which directly affects sustainable development.
In this blog, we explore the different ways your business can optimize performance to protect against unplanned downtime, reduce downtime and therefore increase productivity.

Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) has long been established as the standard technology for printing real-time and variable data, machine-readable codes, and images onto flexible packaging films and labels.
However, there is now a viable alternative for many applications - which could benefit manufacturers looking to prioritise sustainable manufacturing methods, reduce waste, and optimise their total cost of ownership.

Laser marking is used in many industries to apply data to different products or packaging. Using lasers for these applications results in permanent, highly resistant and highly readable codes.
Although the security of the equipment installation should always be the most important, the use of CO2, fiber or UV laser technology for coding implies special security measures.

The manufacturing industry has suffered significant challenges over the past few years. Manufacturing supply chain issues, increasing labour shortages, pressures of COVID-19, and ongoing global political upheavals have created a very challenging and uncertain economic outlook.

In this blog, we will explore the five biggest challenges facing manufacturers today and discuss what steps to take and what technology to use to turn these challenges into opportunities needed to capture growth.

Most manufacturers of any kind of goods know that labelling their product is a „must“ if they want to be recognized as a trustworthy brand. The label on the product or packaging, besides giving crucial information about the product to the customers, needs to be „easy for the eye“, grab the attention of the potential buyer and to stand out among all other similar products on the store shelf.

What if there were no labels on medication or food to advise of critical information?
We don’t often think about labels and how important they are, but the current supply chain volatility of labels is putting jobs, people’s well-being, and our economy at risk.

Two-dimensional barcodes are becoming a common addition to product packaging – with factors such as globalisation, online trading, and the need for stronger anti-counterfeit methods driving their uptake. In several industries, including European tobacco and pharmaceuticals, 2D codes are now a regulatory requirement.
