Older manual machines were built to last; ”good bones” as they say. But as technology improves and the bar gets higher, manual machines may need a digital retrofit to be fully usable. That’s where digital readouts (DROs) come in; in conjunction with digital controls, they can essentially turn machines from manual to CNC with easy-to-use, digital functionality. Not only do DROs allow shops and training facilities to get more life from their manual machines, but they can improve productivity and raise the quality of the machined workpiece.
Reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is more than a cost-saving strategy; it’s a comprehensive approach to achieving operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness across various industries. Understanding TCO—a calculation that includes not just the purchase price of an asset but also the cumulative costs of operation throughout its lifecycle—is crucial for businesses aiming to make informed decisions that optimize long-term value. This broader perspective ensures that resources are utilized efficiently, encompassing maintenance, training, disposal expenses and more.
