What STAX Technologies was trying to fix
STAX Technologies, a tissue paper packaging manufacturer, faced slow manual changeover times due to its mechanical production system. Changeovers took hours, negatively impacting productivity and making shorter production runs unprofitable.
What STAX Technologies deployed
iTRAK Intelligent Track Systems replaced mechanical rotary-driven chains, belts, and gears with software-controlled independent movers. The system enabled flexible changeovers and continuous flow wrapping instead of intermittent wrapping.
Results
Process changeover times were reduced from hours to minutes. Production speed increased by 10-20% and overall efficiency improved by approximately 40%. STAX became recognized as the technological leader in the tissue packaging industry.
Key Takeaways
- Independent cart technology (iTRAK) converts changeover time from hours to minutes, enabling profitable short production runs
- Transitioning from intermittent to continuous flow wrapping unlocks speed increases of 10-20% on the same footprint
- Technology leadership in packaging machinery directly translates to partnerships with major consumer goods brands
