Designed for Ease of Use, Service and Scalability

Our design sets a new standard for ease of use, serviceability, and scalability. User-friendliness was a key focus during the design process, resulting in reduced learning curves and enhanced efficiency. Moreover, serviceability was given paramount importance, leading to the incorporation of easily accessible components and a streamlined maintenance process. Additionally, our design is highly scalable, facilitating smooth expansion and catering to businesses of all sizes.

Engineered for Flexibilty
Small compact, space-saving form-factor designed with service & ease-of-use in mind
Maintenence & Service
• Fully Servicable from the FRONT and two SIDES.
• Custom side-access sliding Electrical Cabinet allows back-to-back operation, without need to ever service or access rear side of the machine.
• Electronic and Controls systems designed to reduce complexity in terms of maintenance and replacement. Ability to change or replace discrete components without need for rewiring or incurring significant cost and downtime.
• Optional Secure Remote Access Gateway for full remote support and sofware upgades
Scalability
• Standardized platform enables like-for-like expansion of manufacturing lines
• Hardware and tooling designed for long-term, high-volume manufacturing
• Robust enough for high-volume manufacturing, flexible enough for prototyping
