Visi-Tech unveils new Girus workflow system

Visi-Tech Systems has unveiled its new, modernized Girus workflow system. Aimed at printing and packaging companies, Girus identifies key areas of inefficiency, loss of productivity, excess waste and downtime. 

Paul Falloon, managing director of Visi-Tech Systems, said: ‘Girus offers a new insight into your production environment allowing you to identify inefficient working practices and costly waste of resources. Visi-Tech is positive that Girus will take the market by storm.’ 

With Girus, printing companies are able to identify and reduce waste, target and combat downtime, highlight training issues, attack existing or potential machine problems, increase efficiency and develop a leaner operation by being provided with an instant analysis of their manufacturing operation both locally and globally. 

Visi-Tech Systems cites shop floor productivity and efficiency as one of the most important challenges facing printing companies today. Statistics show that the average printing shop floor is only 60-65 percent efficient when measured against established Key Performance Indicators (KPI). ‘It’s not difficult to see that improving efficiency to 80-85 percent would have massive implications for margins and profitability within an organization,’ said Paul Falloon. 

‘The amazing thing is that this extra productivity and profit is sitting there, hiding away amongst the daily production procedures and processes, just waiting to be discovered. It is hiding in the set-ups, in the run time, in the downtime and in the reel changes, and it escapes the users’ attention simply because they cannot see it. It is called inefficiency and it is costing companies significant amounts of money.’
