Factory Economics

We would rather model your line than quote you a percentage.

A Factory Performance Assessment establishes what your line costs to run today, stage by stage, and models what changes with PUGL technologies in place. It is how every PUGL engagement starts — before a trial, and before any commercial discussion.

How it works

You provide baseline operating data for one representative line. A PUGL analyst builds the current-state cost stack, identifies which of our technologies apply to your polymer system — and which do not — and models the future state. The result is delivered in a working session rather than as an automated download, because the assumptions matter as much as the output and they need to be discussed.

  1. Step 01You share baseline line data
  2. Step 02We build the current-state cost stack per 1,000 gloves
  3. Step 03We model the applicable upgrades against that baseline
  4. Step 04We review it with you, assumptions in the open
  5. Step 05If it holds up, we scope a production trial

Typically two weeks from receiving complete data. Assessments are confidential and can be run under NDA — note it in the form and we will send ours or work from yours.

Inputs we work from

  • Number of production lines and output per line
  • Polymer system and former substrate
  • Current cleaning process and frequency
  • Water consumption and discharge arrangements
  • Cleaning chemical usage and cost
  • Energy and steam consumption
  • Former replacement cycle and cost
  • Defect and scrap rate
  • Current OEE and cleaning downtime

Outputs you receive

  • Cost per 1,000 gloves — current and modeled future state
  • Indicative annual saving at your production volume
  • Water, energy and chemical consumption change
  • Yield and scrap impact
  • Former service-life impact
  • Available line hours and OEE impact
  • Payback and return, with assumptions shown
  • Trial scope, line time required and reversion procedure

How we report

Three confidence tiers, kept separate.

A single blended savings figure invites a sophisticated buyer to discount all of it. So we separate the number into three tiers and tell you which part is which.

Tier 01

Verified in trial

Observed directly during production running: cleaning chemical spend, effluent load, cleaning downtime, cleaning-section water.

Tier 02

Modeled from trial data

Calculated from measured inputs rather than observed as an outcome: yield effect, OEE effect, energy.

Tier 03

Long-horizon estimate

Directionally supported but not yet observed over a full cycle — principally former service life. Reported separately and excluded from the verified savings total.

Former replacement is one of the largest components of the cost a conventional cleaning regime creates, and it is also the slowest to verify. Keeping it out of the headline number means the near-term saving stands on its own — and the long-horizon effect is upside rather than a load-bearing assumption.
