Reducing Production Costs

Customised adhesive tape:
Leverage for reducing costs in manufacturing and assembly

In a highly competitive industry, every measure that reduces costs and makes processes more efficient counts. Companies are therefore required to continuously review production processes and optimise them with suitable technologies. One lever that is often underestimated is the use of custom-made adhesive tape moulded parts – a frequently chosen problem solver, especially in the automotive industry.
Customised adhesive tape solutions make it possible to tailor production processes precisely to the requirements of the respective line. The result: lower material consumption, shorter cycle times and greater process reliability – without compromising on quality or reliability.
Even small adjustments, such as replacing conventional fastening or sealing methods with precisely cut adhesive tape mouldings, can lead to significant cost savings overall.
Anyone looking to reduce production costs in the long term should therefore consider customised adhesive tape solutions as an effective factor in efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Optimized Material Utilization

Through Custom Tape Solutions

A critical point that directly affects cost efficiency in production is material utilization. Customized tape parts can make a significant difference here. In many production environments, standard tape is used in roll form, which is often cut on-site to meet specific needs. This process frequently leads to excess material and waste.

 

Waste Reduction Through Precisely Manufactured Parts

By using custom-made tape parts, each piece is produced exactly to the required dimensions and shapes. This minimizes waste since no additional cutting is necessary. The precise fit means that the tape is applied without overlaps or missing areas, which also contributes to material savings.

 

Measurable Benefits of Switching to Custom Solutions

Companies that switch to custom-made tapes often report a reduction in material wastage by 10% to 25%, depending on the complexity of the applications and the accuracy of previous methods. In some cases, especially when high-quality or specialized materials are used, the savings can be even higher. These savings not only contribute to cost reduction but also improve the sustainability of production by reducing waste.

Time Savings

Through Custom Tape Parts

The introduction of custom-made tape parts into production processes leads to a noticeable increase in efficiency, particularly through time savings in assembly and manufacturing processes. This efficiency boost results from various factors:

  1. Reduction of Assembly Times: Custom-made tape parts are precisely tailored to the specific needs of a production process. They eliminate the need to manually cut and adjust the tape, which is often time-consuming. In cases where standard rolls were used, switching to pre-made parts can reduce assembly times by 20% to 50%.
     
  2. Simplification of the Assembly Process: The use of precision-fit parts simplifies the assembly process by reducing complexity and minimizing errors. This leads to faster completion of assembly work and fewer reworks.
     
  3. Improvement of Throughput Times: As assembly is quicker, the overall process throughput times also improve. This allows for a higher production rate and more efficient use of production facilities.
     
  4. Minimization of Error Rates: With precisely fitting tape parts that are less prone to application errors, the quality of assembly is improved, which in turn reduces the likelihood of errors and associated delays or scrap.
