Advantages and Risks of Machine Relocation

Are you considering relocating your machines, conveyors, or production lines? Before you start this project, it's important to evaluate the potential advantages and risks involved. Doing so will help you determine the most effective approach for your needs.

Advantages of Machine Relocation

Relocating machines can provide cost savings, greater production flexibility, and opportunities for production expansion, which are significant advantages for your manufacturing company.

Lower Costs

Professional disassembly and installation of machines and equipment can optimize manufacturing processes and enhance the efficient use of company facilities. This leads to reduced operational costs, including lower energy expenses.

Increased Production Efficiency

Properly arranging machines improves manufacturing efficiency, minimizes unnecessary downtime, and reduces the need to move products between different stages of completion. A well-organized process chain results in a smoother and faster production flow.

Flexibility

Relocating machines enables you to respond swiftly to market changes. With proper reorganization, you can quickly adapt to new production demands and adjust your production lines accordingly.

Capacity Expansion

Looking to increase your output? The disassembly and installation of machines and equipment provide an opportunity to expand your manufacturing capacity. This allows you to keep pace with growing demand. You can also increase capacity by adding new product lines or introducing different versions of existing products.

What Are the Disadvantages of Machine Relocation and How Can They Be Minimized?

When disassembling and reinstalling machines, it is important to consider the associated risks, such as production downtime and potential issues with the quality of the relocation process.

Risk of Production Downtime

Disassembling and installing machines and equipment can be a time-consuming process. Without thorough preparation at each stage, there is an increased risk of prolonged production outages. In such cases, relocation costs can escalate due to lost profits. To minimize production interruptions, detailed planning is essential.

Reduced Quality

When reassembling machines, there is a possibility that they may not be calibrated correctly. This can negatively impact product quality, leading to increased material costs and higher waste generation.

Delivery Delays

Production downtime can disrupt delivery schedules, causing customers to wait longer for their orders. Failing to meet deadlines can affect your competitiveness and reliability as a business partner.

Relocation Costs

One of the challenges of machine relocation is the associated costs of disassembly and installation. These costs also include transport, calibration, and adjustments to production lines. While it may seem cost-effective to relocate machines with your staff, this approach significantly increases the previously mentioned risks. Ultimately, hiring a professional company with experience in disassembly and installation of machines and equipment is more beneficial.
