How One Cutting Machine Can Save You $10,000 in Labor Costs

In today’s competitive stone processing industry, profit margins often come down to how efficiently your operation runs. For many workshops and factories, labor remains one of the highest ongoing costs. But what if a single upgrade — the right cutting machine — could save you $10,000 or more annually in labor expenses?

The Problem: Manual Work Is Costly

Traditional manual cutting operations require multiple skilled workers, constant supervision, and take more time to complete each job. This often results in increased labor costs and lower efficiency.

Item Manual Setup Semi-Automatic Setup
Operators per shift 3 1
Labor cost/month/operator $500–$1,000 $500–$1,000
Monthly labor cost $1,500–$3,000 $500–$1,000

Estimated savings: $1,000–$2,000/month → Over $10,000/year

The Solution: Shuinan Bridge Cutting Machine

At Shuinan Machinery, our high-efficiency bridge cutting machines are designed to:

  • Operate with only one operator
  • Perform precise, programmable cuts
  • Eliminate human error and reduce waste
  • Increase cutting speed and consistency

The result? Fewer workers, higher output, and greater quality control.

Case Study: Turkish Marble Factory

A marble slab processor in Turkey replaced two outdated manual machines with a CNC bridge cutter from Shuinan Machinery.

Before:
– 3 operators per shift
– Average output: 100 m²/day

After:
– 1 operator
– Average output: 180 m²/day
– Labor cost reduced by 65%
– Payback period: 9 months

Bonus Savings: Less Waste, Fewer Mistakes

Each miscut slab can cost $50–$200 depending on the material. CNC-controlled machines from Shuinan significantly reduce these errors, helping maximize material usage and minimize rework.
