30% time savings
Installed less than a month later, in November 2017, according to Benjumeda he was using the system effectively after just ten minutes. Within two days, the whole team was fully confident and getting the results they had hoped for.
“Griffin pretty much does exactly what we expected of it,” Benjumeda says. “It gives us quick and smart layouts, and simplifies the cutting machine files from any print device.”
When asked about the savings through tilia Griffin, Benjumeda estimates to have reduced production time by about 30 percent. “That’s mainly due to savings on jobs where the cut-out is not a simple rectangular shape,” he explains. “Griffin has saved us a massive amount of time in these situations because we used to manually impose them to save as much material as we could. And, of course, saving production time means saving money. That value is difficult to calculate exactly, but it has been significant.”
The Big Display Company is not resting on its laurels. With customers demanding ever shorter turnarounds on even the most complicated jobs, the time advantage has already been soaked up by new production demand and deadlines. Benjumeda is currently looking forward to the new, improved banner hems and eyelets feature projected for the next Griffin update. There is also reassurance for him and his team in knowing that, whatever their next equipment investment, tilia Griffin will continue to integrate seamlessly, doing what it was purpose-designed to do: automating to maximize their time, costs and resources.
