Customer Success Story:
Over-Production Waste
A Top 5 U.S. Printer engaged Flex Metrics to reduce over-production waste in their press room. Operators were responsible for manually stopping their press at the “target” count. Not wanting to be “written up” for shorting the target, operators would overrun their press (sometimes for several minutes) resulting in significant over production. FLEX CountControl module automatically stops production as “targets” are hit. The result for the client was an immediate 95+ percent reduction in over-production waste – a $150,000 savings annually.
You're in good company.
Flex is trusted on 1000s of lines at many of the best manufacturing brands.
