Productivity and Throughput
Other factors that are equally important to consider are productivity and throughput. In comparison, automated and high-speed plate rolling machines, when compared to their manual or slower counterparts, can roll more plates in a given amount of time if provided with the appropriate power supply. In large scale manufacturing, the ability to efficiently roll a large number of plates in a single stage greatly contributes to the reduction of cost and increase of output. The use of automated feeding and quick-change tooling systems in these machines is a big contributor to higher productivity.
