Having the newest and best finishing equipment is excellent for many reasons, but it can also be expensive to constantly be re-placing your finishing equipment.  However, there conveyors are other options instead of just purchasing new finishing equipment all the time, and that is an upgrade.

When you are not willing to re-invest in finishing equipment that is still running well, you can upgrade the machinery instead. It will not only be a smarter financial option, but it will improve the technology you are using and improve your outcomes.

All types of finishing equipment including conveyors, spray booths, curing ovens, paint mix rooms, and all other finishing equipment will require an upgrade at some point in their lifecycle. This is because without an upgrade it could hinder your productivity, through using inefficient equipment.

To figure out whether or not an upgrade on your finishing equipment in necessary, then ask yourself a few questions. Is your equipment less advanced than your competitors? Are you getting enough return on your investment? Is your machinery hampering the productivity of your team? Is your equipment not delivering the same quality results as it used to?

If your answer is yes to any one of the above questions, but your machine is still working perfectly fine, and just lagging in the above areas then you should consider upgrading your systems, rather than purchasing new equipment.

Why is the upgrade necessary?

The three most important reasons why an upgrade may be necessary is – support, performance and need for change.

If your finishing equipment is unable to support your needs, then it may be time for an upgrade. It is important that your machinery can support your outcomes and meet your necessary number of outputs to ensure you receivea return on investment. If you are finding you are not receiving this support from your machinery, however it is technically working, it may be time for an upgrade.

Performance is the first aspect you look for when purchasing equipment. The performance of your machineries systems will naturally degrade overtime and become slower and not produce the same performance. At this point of time, think about an upgrade.

Change is the only constant – a new machine is manufactured, new technologies evolve, your business goals may change, and several other aspects will continue changing.

And as a business you will need to evolve, so to enhance productivity and profit, you have to adapt to change.

Upgrading your equipment at the right time is also equally as essential; a little improvement at the correct time can make a massive difference in your overall downtime for upgrades or repairs. Delaying maintaining or upgrading your systems can cost you more and you may also have to replace the equipment if you delay maintenance or upgrades for too long.
