Most of our systems follow the 80/20 rule: 80% of what we’re doing we have a history with, and the other 20% is unique to the application we’re working on. Both parts of that 80/20 are equally important. The 80% provides a foundation. It’s tried and true technology that’s gotten the job done time and time again. That 80% also provides a basis for our experience. The things we’ve learned developing that 80%, and the research and development we undertake give rise to the 20%.
And what is that 20%? It’s innovation. It’s tailored solely to your application, something that we’ve only built for your system. It’s what takes the tried and true and makes it applicable for you. And you can trust that 20%. Here at UMD, we tend to lead and not follow. We have a history of developing advanced designs. We put a lot of resources into research and development, pushing technology to the limit to provide systems that optimize your business.
In our industry there’s a lot of technology that has been around for a long time. We used to work with a certain type of conveyor that was developed over 30 years ago. We thought it was time for an upgrade. So we invested in developing a new technology, and it’s a development that all of our clients benefit from.
For a system truly optimized to handle your application, you need more than just stock products. Every company and every process requires a certain degree of specialization. Our systems offer exactly that. And every aspect of those systems, from the 80% to the 20%, is backed up by extensive R&D. We work hard to develop the best technology around, in order to provide 100% of our customers with the best systems around.
