Having purchased a first Kongsberg X table in 2017, Roel Sadelaar, owner of Gelria Pakking, said the impact on the business had been immediate. With that machine still meeting the business’ needs and, in Roel’s words, “making the job fun”, the business was looking to increase capacity and throughput to meet the changing demands of the market. Following a visit to the Kongsberg PCS customer experience center to watch the flagship Kongsberg C series in action, Roel said Gelria decided to add the automated C series to the production line.
Every week we produce jobs on this cutting table that we haven’t done before.
“We work with a lot of different materials, with different hardness and thicknesses,” said Roel. “All those settings are saved in the Kongsberg. A colleague who doesn’t work that often with a cutting table can just click on the material and the system will automatically load the cutting settings.”
Since the purchase of the new cutting machines, we have seen a big increase in revenue.
