Have you ever invested in high-end machinery with the goal of streamlining your operations, only to find it doesn’t fully meet your production needs? This is a common challenge, and it’s one we recently solved for one of our adhesive customers. During a visit, I noticed they had an adhesive application machine designed to label paper tubes, yet it was sitting idle. Meanwhile, a group of employees was hand-labeling each tube on an assembly line—a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Naturally, I asked why the machine wasn’t being used.
