As demand for food, beverage, household and healthcare items increase, essential businesses are ramping up production and implementing eCommerce solutions for online retail.\u00a0 This becomes a greater challenge as manufacturers struggle with diminishing labor, and trying to maintain physical distancing between the workers they do have.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So how do they augment their production to match the rising demand?\u00a0 Automation is key.<\/p>\n
In an article<\/a> posted online in April by Beverage Industry<\/em>, they discuss that one way essential manufacturers keep up with demand is to rely more on conveyors for faster, safer and sanitary production.\u00a0 The article goes on to say, \u201cWith the unprecedented status of the manufacturing industry right now, product safety must not be sacrificed as a result of increased demands.\u201d<\/p>\n Protecting your product is a must \u2013 no one can afford even one damaged load<\/a>.\u00a0 But let\u2019s take that a step further.\u00a0 Keeping your workers safe is just as crucial.\u00a0 The right equipment can do both.<\/p>\n For example, lets look at manual case erecting<\/a>.\u00a0 It can take 7 people to erect 30 cases per minute, by hand.\u00a0 That same amount of cases can be erected by one automatic case erector, with one person feeding bla<\/span>nks into the magazine.\u00a0 Adding automation can help you maintain social distancing in your warehouse, and allow you to allocate workers once relegated to repetitive, strenuous tasks, to more critical areas where the labor is needed most.\u00a0 Furthermore, automation allows you to keep up with consumer demand without sacrificing the safety of your products. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To read more about how equipment can help you keep up with demand and keep your operators safe, download our recent case study for the Healthcare Product Industry below, or you can visit us at www.Lantech.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
