Automation and sustainability: How to reduce waste in production with our rolling machines

Do you think sustainability conflicts with productivity when using eyeleting machines? At JOPEVI, we are certain it does not!

In industries such as footwear, leather goods, garment making, or textiles, eyelet machines have stopped being just a simple tool to become a strategic pillar. Today, they allow higher production with less material, fewer errors, and lower energy consumption.

In this sense, there is no doubt that production based on manual methods or outdated machinery faces challenges that go far beyond the time invested.

A “perfect storm” of inefficiencies arises:

• Human error and constant rework
• Entire batches discarded due to a single misapplied eyelet
• Hidden costs of wasted material, unproductive hours, or customer claims

A small deviation of millimeters can ruin premium leather, an advertising canvas, or a piece of footwear. That failure not only translates into financial losses but also into a greater environmental impact due to the waste of valuable resources.

The modern technology of our eyeleting machines prevents human errors: Which translates into higher performance and productivity

One of the main benefits of JOPEVI’s automatic and semi-automatic eyelet machines is their ability to ensure precise and uniform placement of the eyelet in every cycle.

This eliminates human variations that cause failures such as:

• Incorrect perforations
• Poorly fixed eyelets that require parts to be redone
• Breaks in delicate fabrics due to excessive or insufficient pressure

Thanks to digital systems for time and pressure regulation, models such as the J-237 Automatic or the J-42 Washer with Carriage automatically adjust their operation to the type of material —leather, PVC, TPU, polyester, or canvas— ensuring that every eyelet is perfect from the very first try.

The result is clear!:

• Fewer discarded pieces
• Better material performance
• Reduced costs for replacement supplies

Moreover, by streamlining the process, automatic motor-driven machines like the J-239 make it possible to fulfill large orders without the need for extra shifts or disproportionately increasing energy consumption, thus contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

Did you know why using JOPEVI’s high-precision eyeleting machines equals less waste and more savings?

Adopting JOPEVI eyeleting machines not only reduces your environmental impact but also has a direct effect on profitability.

The positive impact of our professional eyelet machines is measured on three key fronts:

1.    Less waste = more savings: Every percentage point of scrap avoided translates into direct savings in materials, logistics, and waste management. In high-value products (such as luxury handbags or technical canvases), these savings can pay back the investment within months.

2.    Less energy per unit: By producing more correct units per hour, energy consumption per valid piece decreases. It is operational efficiency… and also environmental efficiency.

3.    Fewer customer rejections: Consistent quality means fewer returns, less reprocessing, and fewer emissions associated with second deliveries. This strengthens your reputation and reduces your CO₂ footprint.
