Why do plastic mold manufacturers need to invest in automation equipment?

In order to improve the competitiveness of the factory, strive to shorten the manufacturing cycle and reduce the manufacturing cost is the goal of all mold manufacturers. Nowadays, the traditional “manual mold making” has been replaced by automated numerical control equipment, and more and more plastic mold manufacturers have begun to pay attention to and introduce automated production systems and equipment.

Traditional manufacturing processes are more sensitive to the introduction of automation. On the surface, the use of robots can reduce operators and save labor costs, but the actual cost of purchasing a robot is far greater than the labor cost. So how to understand the contribution of automation to cost reduction? We need to analyze the occurrence of huge, intangible costs and the risk of intangible asset loss.

1) The use of automation reduces the requirements for operating skills, greatly improves productivity, and gives full play to the processing efficiency of the machine tool.

2) The actual processing time per week can reach 160 hours, which greatly enhances economic benefits.

3) The machine tool will only create economic benefits, reduce costs, and increase revenue when it is processed.

4) To get the best return on equipment investment, higher safety production and more consistent products.

5) The use of automation avoids manual interference in processing, resulting in higher quality and less waste.
