Problem: Variations in the GSM (grams per square meter) of labels/stickers were causing inconsistencies in the retrieval process by the stamp application unit of the Focke & Co. packing machine. This issue led to multiple or missed pickups, resulting in an increased percentage of label waste.
Initiative: Designed and fabricated an in-house applicator unit equipped with pneumatic suction and blowing provisions. The unit effectively separates stickers before their application onto the packet. Initiative resulted in a 25% reduction in label waste, achieving this improvement at a negligible cost compared to OEM spare parts.
