How to improve the process of developing new products, drastically reducing time-to-market and material waste, thanks to the use of the Extreme Automation “Process” app.
In the nonwovens market, new product development is usually a long and winding path. During 2019, one of our clients spoke to Extreme Automation about how long this process was taking and how it was struggling with its complexity and unexpected problems. The typical procedure consists of three steps: preparation of the new product recipe, production of a few new master rolls on which to perform the tests and, subsequently, analysis of the results in the laboratory. This process must be repeated cyclically, using from time to time the results obtained to adjust the recipe accordingly. What the customer wanted to know was whether Extreme Automation had a solution capable of improving this procedure.
