Industry Bottlenecks Analysis
Legacy challenges in rotogravure cylinder fabrication restricting growth and innovation in packaging printing.
Poor Equipment Interoperability
Weak connectivity between engravers, polishers, and inking systems creates data silos, preventing smooth data flow and hampering production synergy.
Complex Fabrication Workflow
Excessive manual handling and fragmented processes prolong lead times and create bottlenecks between operational stages, limiting overall capacity.
High Material Wastage
Limited manual precision and delayed calibration lead to significant copper waste; poor control over the etching process increases raw material consumption.
High Labor Costs
Dependency on specialized technicians for each stage increases labor and training costs, while human factors compromise quality stability.
Inconsistent Quality Control
Manual operations make it difficult to guarantee product consistency, with issues like color deviation and tolerance errors affecting final print quality.
Lack of Data Traceability
Fragmented production data makes effective analysis and traceability impossible, failing to support process optimization.
