AUGUST SimTech™ Challenge Wrap Up

AUGUST SimTech™ Challenge Wrap Up

We took it easy on all of you for the AUGUST Challenge by presenting a low difficulty problem. So, not surprisingly the four winners just happen to be the same group that consistently place in the top five spots of the leaderboard. These folks really know their stuff! While each of the four reached their limit for monthly prizes, they can still continue to accumulate points toward the GRAND PRIZE of $6,000 worth of training credit toward any Paulson Training product, to be awarded at the end of the year. What separated these seven challengers? Our 1st place molder produced 20,332.8 good parts in 120 hours. Our 7th place contestant produced 19,638.7 parts in 120 hours – a 3% difference in production, BUT over time this could represent as much as a 30% increase in net profits.

With all that said, for AUGUST, our Top Injection Molder title goes to Alexandru Crai! Congratulations! Again, anyone who achieved a score and a spot on the Leaderboard deserves a hearty congratulations. Hats off to you! Well done!

So let’s take a look at our winners this month:

*Winners & Prizes Explained

You’ll note our TOP MOLDERS and PRIZE winners for the month are different. Why? In order to give everyone an opportunity to win a prize and keep things fair, we’re limiting the monthly prize wins. Once you achieve FIRST PLACE, you cannot claim another monthly prize again for the year. If you won SECOND or THIRD PLACE, you can still work your way up to FIRST and claim the top spot. If you’re not eligible to win the monthly prizes again, it doesn’t mean you can’t compete. You can still accumulate points to win the GRAND PRIZE of $6,000 worth of training from Paulson to be announced at the end of the year. So keep participating!

Having Fun with our Competitions?

Imagine the team of skilled molders you could create if SimTech was in your plant 24-7? Your employees could be improving their molding expertise in a safe, low-cost environment, building critical thinking and troubleshooting skills. And you can stage your own friendly in-house competitions.  It’s proven, molding simulation is the best and most cost-effective way to become a better molder. You don’t want your employees making their mistakes or trying new techniques on the production floor at an actual machine—now that’s a costly way to learn. The simulation of complex processes is quickly becoming the gold standard of skill development. SimTech is the answer for injection molding.

Here’s just a few of the applications you can employ with SimTech:

  • Hiring Qualified Employees – Before hiring a potential employee, test their knowledge and skills with problem solving exercises in Simtech.
  • Technician Promotion – Give your candidates for promotion a test before you make that decision.
  • In-plant Competitions to promote learning and discussion – Have your own competitions amongst your team. Have a discussion on what process settings work and why.
