At KORE Insulation, we continue to push the boundaries of innovation, enhancing our manufacturing processes to deliver high-quality insulation solutions while prioritising sustainability. Over the past year, our investment in automation, efficiency, and environmentally responsible practices has led to significant advancements in our operations.
Advancing Manufacturing with Automation
One of the most significant improvements to our production process has been the installation of a fully automated cutting line. This state-of-the-art system represents a major leap forward in manufacturing automation, operating with minimal human intervention while delivering superior accuracy and efficiency. By integrating high-precision cutting techniques, we have significantly enhanced the quality and consistency of our products.
Key Benefits of Our Automated Cutting Line
Our new automated cutting system operates with minimal human intervention. It utilises high-precision cutting techniques to ensure superior accuracy in measurements and cuts, guaranteeing consistency and quality across all products.
But how has it impacted our production capabilities?
- Doubled Production Output: The new system produces twice the volume compared to our previous two manual cutting lines combined, significantly boosting manufacturing capacity.
- Accelerated Production Cycle: Faster production cycles have reduced lead times and increased overall throughput.
- Continuous Operation: The ability to run 24/7 with minimal oversight maximises production uptime, improving efficiency and responsiveness.
- Consistent Precision: High-accuracy cutting ensures uniform product quality across batches.
- Real-Time Quality Control: Integrated monitoring systems detect and correct deviations immediately, maintaining high standards and reducing defects.
Showcasing our Sustainable Manufacturing Strategies
At KORE Insulation, sustainability is not just an initiative—it is embedded in our approach to manufacturing. To reduce our environmental impact, we have implemented several key strategies aimed at minimising waste and improving energy efficiency.
One of our most impactful changes has been the installation of energy meters on significant energy-consuming equipment. This technology allows us to monitor and optimise energy usage, helping to lower operational costs while reducing our overall carbon footprint. Additionally, we have taken a significant step toward greener transportation by replacing our diesel forklifts with electric models. This transition not only decreases emissions but also improves air quality within our facility, creating a healthier working environment for our employees.
Waste reduction is another crucial aspect of our sustainability strategy. We actively collect EPS waste from customer sites, repurposing it to minimise landfill contributions and reduce raw material consumption. By integrating waste collection into our process, we contribute to a more circular economy, ensuring that materials are reused rather than discarded. Furthermore, our rainwater harvesting initiative has allowed us to collect and store rainwater for non-potable uses, reducing our reliance on municipal water supplies and further supporting our conservation efforts.
With a combination of advanced automation and sustainability-driven initiatives. We continue to lead the way in efficient and responsible manufacturing. Our commitment to innovation ensures that we remain at the forefront of the insulation industry, delivering high-performance solutions while championing environmental sustainability.
