Bespoke Kitchen provider Unitech Oxon Boosts Productivity by 40% with Biesse

Unitech Oxon, a leading manufacturer of high-quality bespoke kitchens and bedrooms were looking to increase their production to keep up with the industry demands while maintaining their trusted craftmanship and attention to detail. For Unitech, the best solution was the Biesse Rover B FT HD, offering nesting solutions to improve efficiency.

In recent years, the company has also moved into the contract market, manufacturing kitchens for new housing developments. During 2022, the business started to see higher demands in the contact market meaning their current CNC machines were not able to cope and were generating a lot of dust.

The most productive machine on the market today for nesting operations, Biesse’s high speed Rover B FT HD, was the obvious solution for Unitech. The machine can offer a 30% faster cycle time for the business, supporting with their increase in productivity.

“Essentially, the Rover B has forced us to work smarter, which has given us the flexibility to accommodate ebbs and flows in the business,” says Adam.

When Unitech Oxon heard about the award-winning T-JET feature that is available as an add-on to the Rover B, it was excited about the prospect of seeing whether this dust mitigation solution could work alongside its new extraction system to contain dust. With the combination of Biesse T-Jet and the extraction system, this had eliminated the dust in the workspace.

On the back of its positive experience with the Rover B, Unitech Oxon had placed an further order for a Stream A Smart edgebander equipped with Biesse’s innovative AR70 corner rounding unit after attending a Biesse Edegebanding Masterclass.

Unitech Oxon achieved around a 40% boost in productivity, increasing output from 40 to over 60 panels per day while reducing operational costs through lower energy consumption and optimised labor allocation. The integration of the T-JET system significantly improved the working environment by minimising dust, and improved workflow efficiencies saved the company by up to two hours per day in cycle and setup times.
