Manufacturers and distributors of health care products are an essential link in the healthcare supply chain, and their ability to identify and prevent possible disruptions is crucial.\u00a0 Adding the right automation not only helps reduce supply chain disruptions, but also allows these essential businesses to have control of their operating costs and potential labor shortages when meeting increased production demand.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\"HCIn 2013, a prominent, global healthcare products company was preparing to add a new production line of bedpans.\u00a0 \u00a0They started searching for automated solutions with two goals in mind; the first was to reduce operating costs, and the second \u2013 in keeping with their social responsibility initiatives \u2013 was to reduce ergonomic risks inherent when hand-erecting cases during the packaging process.<\/p>\n

Their search led them to Optima Nonwovens<\/a>, a trusted systems partner of Lantech and a technological leader in hygienic packaging.\u00a0 Optima\u2019s fully automated solution, which incorporated Lantech case equipment, saved the company $68,000 in operating costs and eliminated ergonomic risks for the workers on the line.<\/p>\n

After seeing the savings and benefits by switching to automation, they went on to purchase nine more Lantech case erectors for existing lines and duplicated the fully automated packaging line for another new product in 2017, reducing their operating costs by $750,000 per year.<\/p>\n
