Agricultural Manufacturer Increases Efficiency 5 to 1
Agricultural Manufacturer
Matthews Marking – Engineered Solutions division utilizing a conveyor print table and 8 print systems including 16 L1 printheads.
Transitioned from hand rolling/stenciling to full automation
Reduced time by 5 to 1, improved staff efficiency
An agricultural manufacturer was hand stenciling flat bags and flat boxes while using rolling ink. The company was looking to increase production and eliminate the physical task. Colony worked with Matthews Marking Solutions on a custom conveyor print table solution which utilized 8 systems with 16 L1 printheads to deliver a system that turned more than 5 days of work into one day of work. The printheads deliver a 4″ high print with about an 8″ width which delivers excellent readability on their fertilizer bags.
Colony and Matthews installed the system in line to create a seamless transition while providing full training to the production team.
