We know making a decision to transform your business is not easy. At EFI, we’ve helped thousands of customers select the right technology to grow, transform and automate their business practices. We’re always ready to talk about your goals and how our products can help.
Our problem was the extremely limited intermediate storage area. Often, we had to stop the corrugator although the machines urgently needed the sheets. With PC-Topp, this just doesn’t happen anymore. The increase in productivity allowed us to eliminate 2-3 hours of costly corrugator overtime every day!
After using PC-Topp for six months, we had reduced the finished goods store by more than 75%. This gave us the much-needed space to put in a new machine, not to speak of the savings in capital and the inevitable waste that occurs when products are in store for too long.
