When industrial operations pick, pack and load (or unload) a product from a piece of mechanized machinery into a carton, tote or box, the difference between efficiency and inefficiency often rests with accurate and intelligent conveyor and loading equipment specification. Many of these operations have become fully or semi-automated in recent years, with robotics, palletizers, and other machinery integrated into the process. But the principles remain the same, whether the product is picked by a robot, diverted and sorted, or manually picked.
Also, remember that by streamlining your process, you create a sustainable, more energy and cost efficient operation.
