Chances are the shop-floor problem you are working on has already been solved by someone else. But finding the answer is not as easy as searching on the web or asking ChatGPT.
The Problem Solved feature in Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing describes how processors have solved vexing problems. Each story is both entertaining and educational, with a common element – the processor worked closely with his machinery supplier to find the best solution.
This eHandbook from the Problem Solved series tells seven stories about processors and machinery suppliers working together to find answers. Here is why the machinery manufacturer can provide important help:
· A machinery rep has likely been in dozens of processing plants and picked up tips and best practices along the way.
· Your processing machine may already have capabilities you don’t know about. The rep knows because that is his business.
· Need to modify a machine? The rep can quickly tell you if it can be done.
· Need to buy new equipment? The rep can make sure you order the best machine for your application without paying for unnecessary options and features.
The stories range from an injection molding machine manufacturer solving a ceiling height problem, to a drone manufacturer learning to love 3D printing. Hope you enjoy reading them.
