Uncharted Questions
How does custom equipment design benefit my business?
Custom equipment design ensures that your machinery is built to meet the exact needs of your operation, enhancing overall performance. By tailoring equipment to specific tasks, businesses can improve efficiency, minimize downtime, and extend the lifespan of their machines. Well-designed custom solutions optimize workflow, reduce the risk of mechanical failures, and increase reliability in demanding environments. This not only streamlines operations but also helps lower maintenance costs and maximize productivity, ultimately saving time and money.
Can you retrofit existing machinery?
Yes, we can retrofit and upgrade your existing machinery. We bring in new technologies to boost performance and extend the life of your equipment. This way, you don’t need to invest in completely new systems.
Can you add machine vision to the equipment you build?
Yes, we can! Kraken Engineering offers machine vision as part of our equipment design. Machine vision means using special cameras and software that help machines “see” what’s going on. This can be used to check if products are made correctly, guide robots to move things precisely, or even find problems before they cause bigger issues. Adding machine vision helps improve both safety and quality by making the equipment smarter and more accurate. It’s a great way to make your process more reliable and efficient.
Do you offer prototyping before full production?
Yes, we offer prototyping before full production. First, we create a prototype and test it to make sure it works as expected. We also use Digital Twin Modeling and Simulation to create a virtual version of the machine and test it without building anything yet. After that, we do Rigorous Performance Testing to check if it can handle real-world conditions. If everything looks good, we proceed to full production, ensuring the design is ready and reliable. It’s a careful process that helps avoid problems and ensures the final product works perfectly.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes, we offer ongoing support to make sure your equipment continues to run smoothly. Our services include regular maintenance to catch any issues early and keep things working efficiently. We also provide upgrades to improve your system’s performance and retrofitting to add new features or technology to older equipment. This helps extend the life of your machines and keeps them in top condition, so you can avoid costly breakdowns and stay productive.
