The packing area is a common bottleneck, especially in distribution applications. When workers spend more time doing the actual packing job - and less time bending, searching, or walking - it's easy to justify the efficiencies Cisco-Eagle can help you create with Packing Stations.

Some Questions to ask yourself:

  • Is your packing area cluttered?
  • Are there bottlenecks forming along your conveyor lines?
  • Do workers spend time and motion trying to get product, supplies or tools?
  • Are there cartons, rolls of paper, and other packing materials in places outside the packing area?
  • Is the flow of material through the area inefficient?
  • Does there seem to be a disorganized or chaotic nature to the packing area?
  • Is the packing area becoming a bottleneck?
