Industries : Manufacturing

By some estimates, in contract manufacturing, when an unanticipated problem occurs such as low yield or a quality defect, it can easily cost the OEM and contract manufacturer tens of thousands of dollars in trip and travel time alone for specialized professionals to gather to diagnose, fix and verify. That's not counting the cost of manufacturing downtime and the lost productivity of manufacturing employees. Worse is that whether in New Product Introduction (NPI) or during steady state production, when serious situations occur that result in time-to-market delays or shipments that are stalled, it often costs more than money. Trust and future contracts are at risk as well.

In contract manufacturing, a production interruption is perhaps an even more dreaded event than for most others. That’s because the contract manufacturer has his customer to worry about, while the customer’s customers can bring heat, too.

This is why nothing as potentially straightforward as a product label should trigger such an event. Yet, it happens. Typical contract manufacturers must cope with multiple diverse infrastructures, multiple different products often representing a wide range of vertical markets. Product volumes vary, labeling scalability requirements change from one product to the next, and they change as product manufacturing volumes increase and decrease. Loftware’s enterprising labeling solutions are built to meet these increasing demands.
