Given all the advantages provided by the automation, one might be surprised how many companies still use labor to perform feats machines could perform more efficiently, economically and even safely.

Any of the legion of companies using cardboard boxes corrugated in its output can immediately realize the benefits of changing from man to machine in the assembly of these units cubic and rectangular.

First Instead, consider the human factor. Some companies are currently using men and women of the tape manually with corrugated boxes and the performance of a output as high as 4,000 to 5,000 packages per day. In the process, employees at risk, repetitive strain injuries can affect a company financially. Other companies require teams are at your site during the early morning hours just to assemble boxes for containers are ready to be occupied by regular shifts. Only an employee of sick call during this first critical stage of process can adversely affect the production of the entire day.

By contrast, a person using an appropriate sealant can be processed in five minutes what someone with a hand cone reached in 30 minutes. This speed results in line with the automation equivalent more of the product is widely available in the market. For now, the food industry sensitive, particularly when consumer products are legible dates, "more fast "translates into" cooler ", a seal of quality of the food.

Supply-side savings

In terms of costs supply, automation is also prevalent on the old methods. A hand of a human operator box sealing tape uses more than a machine. In a situation in which a 12-inch box is sealed with a strip of 17-inches, the differences are dramatic. Use an automatic sealer 1500 single roll of tape garden obtain production from 3,176 cases. In comparison, a hand in the recording operation will use a roll of tape and 220-yard return of only 110 cases sealed. That equals 6352 meters of tape to achieve the same result as the machine.

A machine applies a single tape strip across a box of tapes or L-shaped strip at the ends of box. 1500 yard rolls of tape costs less per meter of 220 yard rolls. Furthermore, less waste occurs when a roll is almost empty used as substitutes of 1,500 rolls of garden are less frequent than with 220 yard rolls.

Automation also allows control on the ground customization. For example, a machine can encode directly into a box. The benefits are twofold: the technique is cheaper to implement and reduces inventory from using pre-printed labels or boxes can be expensive to fill the valuable warehouse space. Direct encoding methods work also replaces intensive, such as templates.

Pictures gathered addition, the machine more securely sealed, significantly reducing product damage resulting expensive units carelessly assembled.

Clean machine.

Tape machines also boast another feature: they are a machine clean. With hot glue, maintenance and cleaning costs are a dirty side of the equation. Tape machines low maintenance, on the other hand, require no cleaning. Also, consider that a roll of tape of 1,500 yards (3,176 sealed boxes yield) costs about $ 12 vs. the equivalent of 21 pounds. of glue needed for the same work, which, at about $ 1.25 per pound, costs $ 26.25. The simplicity of the tape machine reliability and drastically reduce the time of inactivity, with readily available parts and the mechanism as simple as plugging "and turn" which requires minimal training.

From the aesthetic point of view, automation provides a more fair and more orderly in the sealed box, providing its customers with a more professional product. For business leaders who believe that the most of labor to mechanization is too formidable task, considering that even small production companies can realize a significant return on investment.

The conclusion is: better performance equals greater value. Automation can be an essential element in achieving that goal.
