The first thing customers need to do is to understand their company's goals, targets, and growth potential. The demands on speed and quality growing each year and manual packaging is a quite time-consuming process, which may lead to delivery delays and financial losses.

Automation will lower overall operational costs and help to:
– Save on labor cost. More than 40% of the labor cost in cable factories arise in the packaging area.
– Increase the output, keep up with trends and fulfill customers’ needs.
– Use the packaging in a more consistent way.
– Optimize factory space and streamline operations.
– Ensure high quality, and consistent accuracy while reducing mistakes.
