For cable manufacturers, every minute of downtime impacts output, delivery schedules, and customer satisfaction. In a competitive market where precision, speed, and reliability define success, skilled machine operators are not just valuable—they’re essential.

Recognizing this, Windak has made Operator Training a core part of its pre-commissioning process, ensuring that customers can maximize the performance of their automated cable packaging machinery from the very start.

Production interruptions caused by operator error, inefficient changeovers, or improper machine handling are among the top challenges in cable packaging operations.

Poorly trained staff can lead to:

  • Unnecessary downtime and lost output
  • Inconsistent coil/spool quality
  • Higher scrap rates and wasted materials
  • Safety risks for operators and equipment

Windak’s tailored training programs directly target these issues, providing operators with the knowledge, hands-on skills, and confidence to run and maintain equipment efficiently.

Two Training Options: Flexible Learning for Your Team

Windak offers two formats to meet the diverse needs of manufacturers:

  • On-Site at the Customer’s Facility – Our experts travel to the customer site, providing training on newly installed equipment to ensure operators learn in their actual working conditions.
  • At Windak Inc. Academy (USA) – Training takes place at our Windak Inc. site, where operators can gain hands-on experience with real equipment in a controlled environment.

Both options combine theoretical knowledge with practical exercises to ensure that operators are fully prepared for real-world production demands.

Comprehensive Training for Confident Operation

During the training, operators will learn and actively perform the following key tasks:

  • Safe start-up/shutdown procedures
  • HMI navigation and recipe setup
  • Production workflows before, during, and after runs
  • Understanding machine components and functions

Proven Benefits for Manufacturers

  • Reduced downtime and faster changeovers
  • Lower scrap and maintenance costs
  • Enhanced safety and longer equipment life

Windak’s training ensures operators can run the equipment efficiently and safely from day one.
