A conveyor upgrade helped this manufacturer dramatically increase output while slashing operational costs and reclaiming valuable factory space

Hytrol has revolutionized its finishing process with IntelliFinishing, achieving a 33% increase in production year-over-year while freeing up 24,000 sq. ft. of floor space. By replacing its traditional power and free system, Hytrol now benefits from reduced downtime, lower labor costs, and greater flexibility in handling parts up to 1,000 pounds.

The IntelliFinishing system isn't just an upgrade—it's a game-changer, driving productivity, quality, and cost savings to new heights.

The smart controls and friction-driven conveyor enable precise control, minimizing bottlenecks and improving product quality. Training new employees is easier than ever, thanks to IntelliFinishing's intuitive system design.

With improved efficiency, Hytrol reduced its operations from two shifts to one while maintaining higher output. The system's adaptability allows for in-house finishing of previously outsourced parts, saving the company over $1.6 million annually.

The Intellifiction system has been performing phenomenally. We were able to, by optimizing our processes and interactions with the system, we were actually able to reduce going from a a, two, shift operation to a one shift operation and have been able to sustain that through through the majority of of our time. So we've had the telefinishing system here for now four years and it is a very easy system to train our employees with to to be a ground level where they start out at and as they move along to the factory and it's a easy simple process to be able to train them off the HMI and and teach them things with the system. So the most unique thing about working with telephony machine systems specifically, is that it has that unique, design on how it's getting the carriers coming around the system. They're really easy to work on, really easy to maintenance. My experience with training on the system, has been really easy. We were able to bring in, new family members, into our organization, easily start them off in paint, and it does not take them hardly any time to be able to just jump in and start being, just really value added with the ease of the controls.

The reshoring boom that wasn't: U.S. factory construction keeps falling despite tariff push

The reshoring boom that wasn't: U.S. factory construction keeps falling despite tariff push

New factory construction in the U.S. has been on the decline since 2024, despite tariffs and political efforts encouraging reshoring. The trend contradicts expectations that such measures would boost domestic manufacturing facilities. This ongoing decrease indicates broader challenges in the U.S. construction and manufacturing sectors.

  • 01U.S. factory construction has fallen since 2024.
  • 02Tariffs and reshoring efforts have not increased domestic manufacturing.
  • 03Challenges remain in the U.S. construction and manufacturing sectors.
