LOWER YOUR TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
Calculating the total cost of ownership (TCO) of equipment can be difficult to nail down, but a review of its different elements can provide valuable insight into the comparative costs and benefits of different supplier proposals. Often the initial purchase price is not an accurate indication of return on investment (ROI).
For over 40 years, we have used our experience and expertise to continually develop the most reliable and best-performing strapping systems to achieve the lowest TCO across our range of strapping systems for our valued customers. There are 5 main ways to calculate TCO.
CASE STUDY - RIGID PLASTICS MANUFACTURER
REDUCED DOWNTIME BY UP TO 75%
The rigid plastics manufacturer was frustrated with the performance of their 50+ strapping machines on their empty detergent bottle production lines at their manufacturing plant in Ohio, U.S.A.
The machines produced inconsistent strap tension and regularly made incomplete strap feeds. Strapper downtime caused a chain reaction that forced the shutdown of upstream production processes. In addition, operators were required to laboriously extract strap from the expired strap coil, causing them to initiate a coil change before the coils were fully used -wasting strap and increasing cost.
Top 5 Ways To Calculate TCO
It’s important to define system requirements accurately so that suppliers quote appropriate solutions. In addition to the equipment purchase price, consider space requirements, installation, and training requirements.
At EAM-Mosca, we perform an in-depth analysis of your particular application to assess what solution is required. Our engineers often customize a system to ensure the best solution rather than an inefficient one-size-fits-all approach. Up and downstream material handling equipment integrations with the strapping system also minimize production disruptions lowering costs after the initial purchase.
CUSTOMER SUCCESS
PHARMACEUTICAL DISTRIBUTOR
SAVES OVER $18K ANNUAL LABOR COSTS
The combination of high quality Mosca strapping equipment, SoniXs sealing technology and EAM-Mosca training programs has enabled many facilities to never need EAM-Mosca field services. Any issues were able to be quickly and efficiently resolved in-house, dramatically reducing the total cost of ownership per machine.
Other results include:
- 1 Million cycles per automatic strapping machine per year
- Parts costs reduced to $500 per strapping machine per year
- Thirty customer locations with 165 strapping machines installed in 3 years.
CUSTOMER SUCCESS: MILLER POULTRY
Strapping Machine Still Going Strong After Over 39 Million Cycles
In an industry where strapping machines are considered almost a throw-away asset, Miller Poultry has done an impressive job of keeping its fleet of equipment in good operating order, completing most of their own preventive maintenance.
Miller poultry's story shows that a high-quality machine combined with regular maintenance and cleaning, along with taking the time to cover the equipment during washdown, is a realistic way to achieve the lowest TCO while maintaining the high productivity levels required in a fresh poultry packing operation.
