A hydraulic shear, a powerful machine used to cut sheet metal with precision and force, plays a crucial role in metal fabrication. Cutting the metal sheet is always the first step of the production process. This initial task sets the pace for everything that follows and must be completed accurately to ensure smooth operations down the line. Without a reliable method for cutting, production can stall before it even begins.
Miro had several pieces of equipment before—machines that handled various aspects of his workflow. However, he was outsourcing his cutting needs. Despite having a relatively well-equipped workspace, he lacked the specific machinery required to perform this essential first step. Instead of cutting the metal sheets in-house, he depended on external providers, which introduced delays, added costs, and reduced overall efficiency.
The absence of a hydraulic shear in his setup meant Miro couldn’t fully control the start of his own production process. This reliance on outside cutting services slowed down his turnaround time and limited his flexibility. Gaining the ability to perform precise cuts on-site would have significantly improved his workflow from the very beginning.
Incentives
As a business owner, it was clear to him that making an investment in a hydraulic shear in 2024 was not just a necessary step, but a strategically sound decision for the future of his operations. He anticipated that the increased efficiency, reduced outsourcing costs, and improved control over production would enable him to recover the investment by 2026—perhaps even sooner, as early as 2025, depending on workflow volume and demand.
