Kongsberg automation delivers continuous production
The automation has helped Bluejet evolve into one of Poland’s biggest companies.
Discover how the combination of Kongsberg C64 and C66 tables with automated Feeder & Stackers and robotics has helped Bluejet meet growing customer demands, boost productivity and expand its product portfolio.
The story
From time-consuming loading and unloading to continuous automated production
The challenge
Keeping up with growing customer demand
The company bought its first Kongsberg table in 2012, after investing in an Inca Onset S20 printer and being unable to cut the enormous resultant product manually.
As the business grew, Bluejet needed to increase production speed and capacity to meet growing customer demand. Loading and unloading took up a significant part of the production day and limited productivity.
“The amount of time that we were losing in loading and unloading was very big, sometimes about 60% per day.”
The solution
Cutting tables, automated feeding and robotics
The Bluejet facility has expanded to include two flagship Kongsberg C64 tables with automated Feeder & Stackers, and two Kongsberg C66 tables with robotics to deliver fully automated production.
The combination of Kongsberg cutting tables and automated feeding and stacking has boosted not just productivity but also efficiency at Bluejet, without any compromise on quality or accuracy. “If you want to boost your production, you have to look to automation.”
The result
Speed and accuracy with automated efficiency
With full automation throughout its production, the Bluejet team is now significantly faster than ever before.
“We can work three shifts on it, five days, six days; sometimes when we have huge orders, even seven days per week, without any problem.”
Automation has helped Bluejet evolve from a small operation into one of Poland’s biggest companies, with the capacity to create many different products for its customers.
“We started just with a small plotter, but today we have huge machines. Bluejet is one of the biggest companies in Poland today. We have the biggest capacity, and we can create many different products for our clients.”
