DESMA solutions, when vertically integrated, provide major benefits to manufacturers. This article shows the top six benefits of vertical integrations and specifically, how DESMA delivers value in Vertical Integration, helping manufacturers improve efficiency, reduce costs, and gain competitive advantages.
Benefit #1. Seamless system: From Machine to Mold
DESMA USA is the only complete systems provider in North America for rubber injection molding. We offer German-engineered molding machines, in-house mold making & CRB (cold runner block) systems as well as automation. With our vertical integration, you benefit from:
● Seamless synchronization between machine, runner, mold, and automation
● Enhanced process efficiency with our patented cold-running technologies
“PressureSense”, “FlowControl” and “ZeroWaste” ITM systems.
Benefit #2. Quality Control and Process Reliability
Advanced services like SmartFlow can optimize injection flow characteristics and OPC integration. This helps manufacturers to:
● Reduce molded defects even with complex shapes commonly used in the medical industry
● Export the Desma’s Machines process data to your network that give real-time remote visibility over your process and archiving of data to support your end customer quality efforts
Benefit #3. Faster Setup Times and Production
DESMA FlexCell automation offers integration of industrial robots, vision inspection and (when applicable) insert loading with the DESMA machine control system and QuickLock mold latching systems features. This offers manufacturers:
● Fast transition of mold changes to reduce maximize uptime
● Increased process control by reducing human error
Benefit #4. Ensuring Confidentiality
If you need tool design or mold manufacture assistance, our North American Manufacturing Center (NAMC) is ready to help. Vertical Integration within DESMA exists allowing us to deliver key value propositions:
● Reducing the number of vendors, customers streamline engineering efforts and safeguards your IP.
● Proprietary methods and manufacturing processes remain in-house.
Benefit #5. Profitability and Sustainable Efficiency
With energy-saving features like EcoSilence+ using servo drives in our fluid temperature control units, ServoGear hydraulics on our S3 series and C4 machines and EnergyControl+ load management electronics, DESMA machines help cut operating costs while reducing your environmental footprint. And when combined with FlowControl+ and cold-runner systems, you will see:
● Operational efficiency that reaches new heights
● Natural Resource use and costs are kept to a minimum
Benefit #6. Training that Drives Performance
DESMA is more than just a machinery provider. We offer structured training in machine maintenance, process training, and electronics/hydraulics, in both Spanish and English to equip your team with valuable knowledge to succeed. These tools empower our customers to:
