Automated palletising<\/a> holds many different benefits, some commonly known, and others not so commonly known.\u00a0 Some of the more important benefits are explained in detail below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Improved Productivity\/Cost Savings<\/strong><\/p>\n This is often one of the most overlooked benefits of automated palletising.<\/p>\n Manual palletising has many drawbacks when it comes to productivity.\u00a0 There can be many different reasons for this, but the two key reasons are:<\/p>\n Automated palletising systems not only remove these issues and enable your production process to function at full capacity, but also have additional benefits as well. Below are some stats we have received from some of our most recent palletiser installations:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Removes Risk of RSI<\/strong><\/p>\n Manually stacking pallets carries a high risk of RSI occurring, this is due to the high level of repetitive activity that is carried out when stacking a pallet. Download this simple RSI calculator<\/a> to see what risk your current manual stacking process carries.<\/p>\n Automation of your pallet stacking process completely eliminates the need for any manual input at all, thus removing the risk of RSI. The recent introduction of automated palletising systems that can be quickly and easily re-programmed<\/a> for different sized items, has also meant that automated palletising can now be used in a far larger variety of situations than it could before.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Improved Product Quality<\/strong><\/p>\n When pallets are manually stacked, this can often result in inconsistent and unstable pallet stacks.\u00a0 Storing and shipping of unstable pallet stacks can ultimately result in pallets breaking down and causing damage to goods.\u00a0 This clearly has implications and can result in unhappy customers, returns and refunds and additional admin time having to be spent in resolving these issues.<\/p>\n However, when a pallet is stacked using an automated system, product is consistently placed in the correct place, according to the chosen stack pattern, which results in stable and consistently palletised stacks.\u00a0 This not only helps prevent damage during storage and transit, but can also help with stock control as you know your pallets will all be consistently stacked with the same quantity of product.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Removes Labour Crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n It is becoming increasingly difficult to source staff that are happy to stack pallets. This is no doubt due to the repetitive and labour intensive nature of the job. Using manual labour to stack pallets also mean that you have to find alternative labour if your staff are off sick or on holiday, which carries with it additional costs.<\/p>\n An automated system will remove this requirement altogether as the system will continue to function through lunches, breaks and holidays!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eliminates Bottlenecks<\/strong><\/p>\n The palletising part of a production process can sometimes be the bottleneck of your whole production process. If those palletising are not able to palletise at the maximum speed that your production process can run, then you have no option but to run your production process slower than its optimum speed.\u00a0 This effectively equates to lost production time. If you are unsure where the bottleneck is in your production process, this article<\/a> should help you in identifying it.<\/p>\n Chosen wisely, an automated palletising system will have the capacity to palletise product coming off your production line, with the line running at maximum capacity.\u00a0 In some instances, an automated system will in fact be able to palletise off two production lines at the same time, whilst they are both running at maximum capacity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are just some of the many different benefits that automated palletising can bring.
