Customization vs. Readymade Equipment
There are certainly advantages to ordering equipment that’s not customized to your specifications—but they’re all on the front end. Ordering is simpler and you’re likely to get your converting equipment faster. Once it arrives, though, the real work begins as you try to figure out ways to change your process to match the capabilities of your equipment or make changes to the equipment itself to meet your needs.
In contrast, custom-built converting equipment is designed with your unique needs and processes in mind, with the features and capabilities you require. This means the equipment will fit seamlessly into your production line as soon as it’s delivered, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the downtime that would be inevitable if you have to retrofit readymade equipment into your existing workflow. You’re also paying for exactly what you need, versus buying equipment with features you may not use.
Additionally, customization tailored to your processes and materials can mean a more user-friendly design, making it easier and safer for your employees to perform their daily tasks and maintenance. It also allows for a more efficient use of space in your facility. With custom equipment, you can eliminate unnecessary steps or clunky processes that may have been required with non-custom equipment, freeing up valuable floor space and streamlining production.
