Reduce cycle times an additional 4-5%.

Algoryx supports the use of scientific/decoupled molding principles to define initial process
window limits and to establish an initial minimum cycle time within that process window.

However, Algoryx’s technology takes cycle time reduction one step further. Algoryx reduces cycle times by at least an additional 4-5% over scientific/decoupled minimum cycle times. It is not unusual for Algoryx to reduce cycle times by 6-7%. Algoryx occasionally reduces cycle times by 8% or more.

A 4-5% reduction in cycle time equates to a 4-5% increase in productivity with no money spent
on equipment.

Reduce the number of production shifts per week.

Algoryx’s 4-5% reduction in cycle time equates to eliminating 1 shift per week for 24/7
operations.

Eliminating 1 shift per week is a “hard” cost savings. It not only reduces direct costs, it reduces
the overhead burden applied to those labor, facility and other costs.

Some processors, who are not capacity constrained, view cycle time reduction as a “soft” cost
savings. Other processors, particularly those who are capacity constrained, view cycle time
reduction as a “hard” cost savings.

Increase plant capacity without buying more presses.

Or, Algoryx’s cycle time reduction can be thought of as increasing plant capacity without spending money for additional equipment. Increased capacity enables producing and selling more product to increase profits.

Algoryx accomplishes cycle time reduction by using its patented systems engineering approach
to characterize the mold.
