New Life for Conveyors - By using modular conveyors, assemblers ensure their investment can evolve along with changing production needs

摘要

In his 1984 novel, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Czech intellectual Milan Kundera took the philosophical position that, because each of us has only one life to live, decisions, ultimately, do not matter. But, as any production engineer worth his salt knows, that's a bunch of hooey. Decisions do matter - a lot. This is especially true when allocating resources or making capital investments in a new facility or production line. On the one hand, to over-invest, or overbuild a process means you've wasted money. On the other, if a particular process or system can't handle future production needs, you may find yourself building the thing all over again a couple of years down the road.
