The hidden cost of manual paper reel changes

At SAXOPRINT, the benefits of Contiweb non-stop auto-splicing can be seen across several areas of production performance. In these short clips, Operations Manager Ijad Nestler explains the impact on productive output, paper waste and the way operators work.

More output

Despite a production mix dominated by short runs, SAXOPRINT achieves exceptional output from its two production lines equipped with Contiweb non-stop auto-splicing systems.

Less paper waste

Contiweb non-stop auto-splicing systems help SAXOPRINT turn more paper into sellable output by reducing the material losses normally associated with reel and pallet changes.

Greater operator autonomy

Contiweb non-stop unwinders and rewinders automate reel changes, giving SAXOPRINT operators greater autonomy to plan their work and focus on higher-value tasks.

How much do manual reel changes really affect your production line's performance? Find out using your own production data.

The Contiweb Reel-Change OEE Assessment Toolkit helps you measure downtime, speed losses, paper waste and operator interventions, and assess their impact on OEE.

The toolkit includes an Excel workbook to record your findings and calculate the results, plus a practical measurement guide with instructions and tips.
