3 Reasons Why Hand Case Packing/Palletizing                     Drains Your Profits!

1. Workers Are Expensive!

Labor for most companies, is their highest cost of conducting business. In the U.S., labor costs have risen 44% in the past 10 years!. This is because the worker’s services are only “rented.” Each week, you have to “rent” their services again, and it never ends. Worse yet, their “rental” cost keeps going up, and the cost can never be fixed! According to the National Coalition on Health Care, in 2007, employer health insurance premiums increased by 6.1 percent - two times the rate of inflation.  PricewaterhouseCoopers health research institute reported that employer medical care costs will increase by 9.9% in 2008.  The auditing firm also expects a 9.6% bump up in medical coverage costs for businesses in 2009.  Currently, the annual premium for an employer health plan covering a family of four averages nearly $12,100 per year!  Automated Palletizing commonly reduces labor by 75%, with the benefit of known, fixed costs.

2. Workers Get Injured.

In 2006, over 1,183,500 injuries with days away from work were claimed against U.S. companies as reported by the U.S. Dept. Of Labor. Sprains and strains accounted for 472,740 of those reported cases; most of which involved the upper and lower back.  Hand case packing and palletizing is to blame for many of these back injuries. Workers are prone to repetitive motion injury and stress. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that U.S. employers pay almost $1 billion per week dor direct worker's compensation costs alone.  Indirect workers' compensaton costs are estimated to be 3x - 4x that!  Robotic automation makes the workplace safer and can reduce the cost of injury to your business.

3. Workers Take Time Off/Vacations/Sick Days.

Even the best workers get tired, sick, injured, or take a family vacation.  It is a fact of life and business.  During work hours employees need breaks, get distracted or even bored throughout the day, productivity suffers, material is wasted, and overall operational efficiency and quality is diminished.  and need to take a break. They get distracted or bored. Productivity directly impacts the profitability of your company. Imagine if you could increase our output, raise quality, and reduce costs.  Robots don't get tired, take vacations, and are never sick.  They work as you need them, 365 days a year!  Robots used in case packing and palletizing typically have a 60,000 hr. Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF).  That is almost 7 years!
