The following are case studies with examples of real world customers and their experience after implementing the Klever Kutter, Klever Koncept and Klever X-change model safety knives and box cutters into their operations.
Case Study 1: National bottling plant operations experiencing inventory damage and manufacturing delays as a result of using an open bladed box cutter to cut the plastic film packed around the empty 2 liter bottles, before placing the bottles on to the conveyor system. The box cutter user would accidentally make contact with the plastic bottle. Upon filling the bottle with carbonated liquid, the bottle would burst under pressure where the knife had grazed the plastic side wall. This unseen damage would leade to a complete mess on the production line and stopped production.
Solution: Implementation of the Klever Kutter and Klever Koncept safety knives, eliminating accidental bottle damage and reducing downtime while increasing safety and production. Production managers were elated to eliminate this issue and so were the employees responsible for the clean up!
Case Study 2: National retail sporting goods distribution center with a high volume of temporary labor used to meet the holiday shipping schedules. The problem is that the cost associated with a box cutter injury is very expensive and the probability of an accidental laceration by a temporary employee increases tremendously as they are not generally as well trained in the use of an old fashioned box cutter.
Solution: Use of the Klever Kutter and Klever Koncept safety cutter. Zero box cutter accidents were reported after implementation of our completely safe box cutters.
Case Study 3: Internationally recognized oil company with corporate owned convenience stores removed all of our competitors "safety" box cutters from their operations as a result of multiple accidental box cutter injuries to their employees.
Solution: After field testing in several locations, acceptance and use of the Klever Kutter has resulted in more efficient operations on the store level with the safety records to make any loss prevention manager happy.
Case Study 4: National clothing manufacturer reporting damage to imported goods and inventory while still experiencing user injury from their current "safety" box cutter that includes a spring loaded release mechanism and an open blade design.
Solution: After an onsite inspection, we recognized that 75% of their box cutter use was simply splitting tape on the boxes so that they could be opened easily. We removed the old box cutters and replaced them with the Klever X-change that includes the protected, replaceable blade and also includes the tape splitter within the handle. We eliminated product damage and user injury while extending the life of each blade since the use of the tape splitter shared the work load.
Case Study 5: Midwest convenience store chain experiencing user injury associated with open bladed box cutters.
Solution: The Klever Koncept has eliminated user injury while offering an excellent platform to safely open boxes with its safety blade or built in tape splitter. Another loss prevention manager whose life was made easier.
Case Study 6: Contract manufacturing partner looking for a tool to safely cut film and other plastics during their manufacturing process.
Solution: The Klever Koncept offered the best cutting solution and kept the employees safe in the process.
Case Study 7: West coast candy and nuts company, responsible for the distribution of various candy, fruits and nut brands to retail locations. Removeable blades generally contained within an old fashioned open bladed box cutters were unacceptable due to the danger of a blade falling into the product.
Solution: With our bright colors and single piece design, the Klever Kutter was the perfect solution to keep the inventory and the eployees safe.
