When less is more

Capital-equipment vendors can do their part in ensuring the long-term growth of manufacturing industry, says Richard Heimsch, VP and President of DEK International.

History tells us that selling capital equipment has long been a case of adding more and more features as suppliers compete on technology and the ability to deliver more functionality to customers This "more is better" philosophy has driven the marketing and sales of almost all equipment

Certainly the addition of new features, more manufacturing flexibility, and improvements in performance continues to be important.

Changes in the technologies our customers use (the incredible continuing drive toward smaller geometries, for example) and changes in manufacturing demand new capabilities from our equipment, whether it is faster throughput or more accuracy at improved tolerances.

Furthermore, the leaders among equipment vendors will continue to make improvements in functionality simply because new technologies or designs make it possible to do so.
