Optimized technological flows: how do you get them for your business?

You definitely know that the productivity level of your business increases when the production line is optimized and there are no dead times. However, due to considerations related to the available space, the technological flow is not optimal.

In today’s article we will discuss one of the most common situations when Semper Fi Glass experts propose for purchase an insulating glass production line. Find out in the following what is the situation we are going to talk about and how our specialists proceed in this case.

The proposal for the purchase of a thermal insulating glass production line

When we are called to discuss a certain technical configuration, the client asks us to mold ourselves to the technological flow at that time. Most of the time, we come with a recommendation for optimizing the technological flow, which involves the relocation of some existing glass processing machinery. In this way, you can achieve maximum productivity.

It is not enough to have high-performance tools, if the workflow is fragmented and limited by the habit of operators. If they fail to deliver the required inputs to the production line, it is normal for the utilization not to be at maximum efficiency.

This is where our expertise comes in, where we look to see how well the process is optimized and structured as fluidity in production.

When we manage to reach a common denominator with the owner, in terms of relocating machines, changing the flow and optimizing it, we hit the reluctance of those working in production. Starting from the operators and sometimes even reaching the factory production leader.

In this sense, there is a contradiction that we have to dismantle, to show the utility and efficiency of the production line in the new form.

How do you approach workflow optimization in the glass industry?

In order to be able to increase the production capacity, it is very important to consider the operators and the way they work. The complete process of optimizing the production line can start from the purchase of new, better performing machines, but it is definitely defined by the correct use of the line.

Our expertise allows us to come up with solutions to optimize the current technological flow. The purpose of the relocations is nothing but an optimization of the activity, an increase in the team’s performance, an easing of the work of the operators and many more units produced.

As a concrete example, in a production hall we optimized the flow of glass cutting and managed to increase the productivity of the cutting line by 25%, just by relocating two of the glass cutting tables and by optimizing the feed speed of the production with cut glass and baguette frames.
