Nordson’s SELECT Synchro Selective Soldering System Helps Kamstrup Advance Their Automation, Increase Output 20 Percent, and Reclaim Six Meters of Factory Floor Space

• Kamstrup increased production throughput 20% by upgrading to Nordson's SELECT Synchro selective soldering system
• Company reclaimed 6 meters of factory floor space with the compact 2.5-meter system
• Avoided costly production line redesign while advancing automation capabilities significantly

When your factory floor space is more precious than Manhattan real estate, every meter counts. Kamstrup's clever upgrade demonstrates how smart equipment choices can solve multiple problems simultaneously—boosting output while actually freeing up space rather than consuming it. The Danish metering company faced a classic manufacturing dilemma: improve efficiency without expanding their footprint or redesigning their entire production line.

The beauty of this solution lies in its mathematical elegance. Traditional selective soldering equipment would have consumed up to 9 meters of floor space, but Nordson's SELECT Synchro delivers superior performance in just 2.5 meters. That's like fitting a Ferrari engine into a Mini Cooper while somehow making the car roomier inside. The 20% throughput increase isn't just about making more products faster—it's about maximizing return on existing infrastructure investments.

This case study reveals a broader trend in modern manufacturing: the premium placed on compact, high-performance equipment that doesn't require facility expansion. As companies face rising real estate costs and supply chain pressures, solutions that deliver more capability in less space become increasingly valuable. Kamstrup's success story suggests that the future of manufacturing efficiency isn't necessarily about going bigger, but about going smarter with the space you already have.
