In conversations with customers, several themes have become consistent over the past year. Consistent not only from a local perspective, but from a global perspective. We continue to hear about the lack of skilled labor and the shift from traditional trade skills to digital and automated machinery. Our customers continue to see variations in material supplies. Not only from material substitution and thinner liners, but variations in the material itself as supply shortages require finding additional sources. Finally, we hear about inflation, sustainable initiatives, and the cost of doing business requiring a need to reduce waste to balance planet, people, and profits.

Maxcess is investing in R&D to find solutions. Focusing new product development efforts on automating web processes so you can do more while minimizing human error, eliminating scrap, and reducing waste so people and presses work better, faster, and smarter. We’re embracing Industry 4.0 solutions that increase profits, keep people safe and create sustainable solutions.

Recently, two new products gained considerable traction in the market. They address customer challenges and deliver optimizing performance. Our AccuAdjust adjustable anvil, launched in spring of 2022, was an instant customer favorite. The AccuAdjust solves liner variability issues, converting PET, Glassine, Kraft with ease with precision digital controls for perfectly cut labels. The unit comes automation ready to upgrade to the RotoAdjust Operator Interface for even greater control, elimination of human errors, improved die life and integrated online reordering.  

The final piece of the portfolio launches fall 2023 with RotoScan, which proactively identifies and adjusts cutting depth to minimize waste. Tidland’s RD AutoScore is another Maxcess automated solution helping customers conquer challenges. The unit offers automatic and repeatable blade positioning and cut depth tuning to reduce setup time while keeping operators safe. The RD AutoScore also offers a ROI in less than one year compared to manual score systems. Find out more at maxcess.com.
