How Automation is Revolutionizing Engineered Plastics

by Stephan Hochheiser

Traditionally, plastics are cut using shaper cell machinery that requires three operators in a tedious process. This process is time consuming and labor intensive, reducing efficiency and increasing cost for the customer. Enter automation - a robot run cell that increases value and efficiency, produces better margins for products, and reduces the number of operators needed allowing them to focus on more rewarding work and valuable skill advancement. This machine drives innovation and safety, providing a whole new realm of opportunities for engineered plastics and reaching new heights in services provided to customers.
