SheetSim-SHOTS Case Studies
| How to use SHOTS |
GATFWorld asked several different types of organizations to tell us about how they use the simulator and the resulting benefits.
| Leo Paper Group |
Leo Paper Group (“Leo Paper “) is one of China’s largest printing companies and is recognized for its innovation and investment in new production technology and optimizing staff skills and conditions. The company has over 60 sheetfed presses and it is the first
Chinese printer to install Sinapse simulator training technology.
| Litho-Krome Case Study |
At Litho-Krome, a subsidiary of Hallmark Greeting Cards, the Sinapse Sheetfed Offset Simulator (SHOTS) is the cornerstone of the training program. Since SHOTS was installed two
years ago, Litho-Krome has reduced its make-ready and spoilage significantly, while increasing net runs speeds on its presses.
| Field Container Case Study |
If you don’t think that training translates into productivity, you haven’t talked to Mike Schmidt at Field Container’s Elk Grove Village, IL, facility. Schmidt has been operating Sinapse Graphic’s Sheetfed Offset Simulator (SHOTS) for training the facility’s press operators since 1997.
| Smurfit |
If you are going to play "follow the leader" in the training game, your next purchase should be a Sinapse Sheetfed Offset Simulator (SHOTS). Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation, the largest corrugated packaging company in the world and the second largest folding carton company, purchased a SHOTS system for its Phoenixville, PA, plant two and a half years ago.
| Graphic Packaging and SHOTS |
Graphic Packaging Uses SHOTS simulator to Cut Start-Up Time by 50%.
Graphic Packaging International, Ft. Smith operation, is a manufacturer of high-quality folding cartons, using both sheetfed offset and flexography. Once a small, independent operation, it is now part of the 8,000-employee, 45-plant packaging giant.
