Silver & Precious Profits
Company News Monday, April 29, 2013: AP Dataweigh
The problem:
A leading provider of commemorative coins was having difficulty in accurately and efficiently weighing 1 oz. silver coin blanks. Regulation requires no coin can weigh below 1 oz. and any amount over 1 oz. cannot be charged to a customer and comes straight out of profit. Three technicians were manually weighing samples on a random basis. This was labor intensive and inaccurate, leading to significant silver give away.
The solution:
AP Dataweigh, Inc.designed a High Resolution Checkweigher system with a built-in reject. During the factory acceptance test, AP Dataweigh, Inc. was able to adjust the accuracy down to 0.05 grams with repeatable results. 100 % of all silver blanks can now be tested with minimal labor. Rejected blanks (both over and underweight) are now captured, melted down and remolded, instead of being processed “as is” and sold for less than they are actually worth!
The payback:
100% of all silver blanks are now tested by only one technician resulting in labor savings of $60,000/year. Silver loss through previous overweight giveaway has been reduced by 0.5% resulting in annual savings of $70,000/year. Now 100% of all coins are guaranteed to meet minimum weight.
Investment – $32,000
Savings – $130,000/year
Payback – 89 days
Most production facilities are aware of the necessity of having the weight of their product match the label in order to prevent underweight products from shipping to customers, but overlook the potential impact of overweight products.
