How customers optimize costs with printers and labelers
In the increasingly competitive modern market, optimizing operating costs is one of the key factors that helps businesses maintain their advantage. A typical customer – T.A Company, operating in the field of packaged food production – has successfully reduced costs and increased production efficiency by applying modern printing and labeling machines. Below is the story of their optimization journey.
Initial challenges
Before applying the new solution, T.A Company faced many problems in the printing and labeling of products. They used old printers with outdated technology, leading to slow printing speed, frequent errors and high maintenance costs. The manual labeling process also consumed a lot of manpower, increasing labor costs and extending production time. In particular, when market demand increased during the holidays, the company often could not meet orders in time, affecting the brand reputation.
According to internal statistics, printing and labeling costs account for up to 15% of T.A. Company’s total monthly operating costs. This forced the management to look for a sustainable solution to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
Solution: Invest in automatic printers and labelers
After researching and consulting with equipment suppliers, T.A Company decided to invest in an advanced automatic printing and labeling system. The new equipment integrates thermal printing technology and an automatic labeling system, allowing for the processing of thousands of products per hour with high accuracy. The machine is also equipped with intelligent management software, allowing for custom label design and real-time performance monitoring.
The implementation does not stop at purchasing the equipment. T.A. also conducts training sessions for the staff to ensure they are familiar with and operate the machines effectively. At the same time, they cooperate with the supplier to establish a regular maintenance process to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Results achieved
After 6 months of implementation, T.A Company recorded significant changes. Firstly, production speed increased by 40%, helping to meet large orders in time without overtime. Secondly, labor costs decreased by 30% thanks to labeling automation, allowing the company to allocate human resources to other departments such as quality control and product development. Thirdly, maintenance costs decreased significantly thanks to the durability of the new machine and reasonable maintenance procedures.
In total, printing and labeling costs were reduced from 15% to 9% of total operating costs, saving hundreds of millions of VND per year. In addition, product label quality was improved with higher sharpness and uniformity, contributing to enhancing brand image in the market.
Lessons learned
The case of T.A Company shows that investing in modern technology, although initially costly, can bring long-term benefits in terms of cost and efficiency. More importantly, the coordination between advanced equipment, personnel training and regular maintenance is the key to optimizing the production process. This is a valuable lesson for businesses looking to improve performance in the era of Industry 4.0.
