About IPS
Your chain, our concern.
IPS GETS YOUR PRODUCT OUT THERE
Your product only has value when it is ultimately used by your customer. And so your product must get to that customer. If that is as simple as packaging and shipping, say, a book, read no further. Then you don't need IPS Technology.
You are still here? Then you know that with many industrial products it is not that simple. For example, products are so large that they cannot be transported as a single unit. Then it is important to disassemble them in such a way that they can later be made into a whole again as easily as possible. This is just one example. Manufacturers and customers of manufacturers often have very specific requirements for disassembly, packaging, transport and assembly - and these requirements are almost always unique. They have to do with cost, speed, efficiency, space, ease of use or safety. Or probably a combination of these. And they call for customized solutions time and time again. IPS Technology comes up with them. So that your product arrives where you want it to. On time, undamaged, within budget, ready to use. We succeed because we combine technical know-how with creativity and in-depth knowledge of your world and that of your customers. And because we take an integral look at your entire process, from product development to commissioning at the customer.
WE CHERISH YOUR PRODUCTS
Our mission is simple and at the same time comprehensive: we ensure that your industrial products can be delivered to users in perfect condition and installed efficiently. We do this by cherishing your products and your added value.
Our vision is that the speed and complexity with which industrial products are developed will continue to increase. This development requires an integral chain approach, particularly for packaging. IPS responds to this need by designing and testing packaging and techniques related to assembly, transport and disassembly. We do this successfully, because IPS is one of the leaders in the market. We owe this success to our craftsmanship and to our extensive 'chain thinking': even before a customer develops a product, we look into the way in which that product can be transported from the production hall to the customer while retaining the value of that product. We understand the requirements and wishes of our clients in that area and translate those into smart solutions that are effective, user-friendly, cost-effective and good.
STEP BY STEP TO THE BEST SOLUTION
Think first and act later. That is the motto at IPS. We take a phased approach when carrying out assignments. This structured approach ensures that we do the right things at the right time and that you are assured of well thought-out, traceable workable solutions. If you leave that to IPS, you can focus on your core competences
Naturally, our approach is always tailored to the specific situation and need. But it is just as natural that we go through clearly recognizable phases. We start with an inventory. After which we focus on concept development, materialization and implementation. At various points in the process, testing is possible.
WE KNOW ALMOST NOTHING. AND THAT'S WHY WE KNOW SO MUCH
IPS is a specialist. Our knowledge and experience is limited to disassembling, packaging, transporting, assembling industrial products. Shorter: we figure out how products go from manufacturer to customer. Ostensibly a pretty narrow field of expertise. But within that field we are incredibly broad. This breadth is our 'chain thinking'. It makes us an internationally recognized specialist. We are experts in the field of:
Logistics; Ergonomics; Marketing; Environment; Regulatory and Legislative Affairs; Packaging Specifications; Packaging Materials; Production Processes; Packaging Processes; Constructions; Mechanical Engineering; Folding Techniques; Testing Methods; Climatic Influences; Mechanical Influences; Printing Techniques; Product Presentation; CAD/CAM; Packaging Suppliers; Mechanical Workshops and Testing Institutes.
BUY OR MAKE YOUR OWN?
Buy or make your own? There's a lot involved in that consideration. IPS knows the factors that play a role, such as functionality and appearance. But we also know that you don't want to incur any unnecessary costs. That's why we use standardized packaging materials and systems as much as possible in our designs. Our up-to-date database of suppliers and delivery programs is useful for this. And however well we know these suppliers, we work independently of them. We guarantee objective advice and protect your identity with those suppliers.
ESPECIALLY FOR INDUSTRY
IPS has become big as a packaging specialist for the industrial market. Packaging for the industrial market focuses primarily on the functions of protection and logistics. Integral cooperation within the business chain is important here. Also relevant: we ensure cost savings through standardization and innovation.
Producers of consumer goods also know how to find IPS. After all, the following applies to this market: those who meet the particularly strict and specific requirements of the industrial market are also successful in the consumer market in certain areas. And adds knowledge for that market.
ALL DOCUMENTS AT HAND
IPS provides technical product documentation (TPD) with the developed packaging. The documents are produced according to the client's guidelines and serve as support during ordering, production and use. Common documents are:
Technical drawings; CAD models, Cutting plot files; Order sheets; Material lists for material accounting; Packing instructions. If required, we also supply prototypes and start-up batches of packaging and tooling.
IN THE END, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CONTENT - OUR VACANCIES
IPS (part of Meilink group) knows everything about packaging and tooling. But we also know that, in the end, it's all about the contents of the packaging. That's what our customers are all about. We are looking for employees who understand that. People who, like our customers, go for the content.
