In this blog, we look at how introducing a tray-handling robot into your business could improve your line efficiency and increase throughput.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Quicker than manual handling<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palletising is one of the last things to be done before a product is shipped or moved into storage. A bottleneck here can have a knock-on effect further up the line, and slow down production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tray-handling robots are much quicker than people at doing the same job, so they can keep pace with the rest of the production line \u2013 even when it\u2019s operating at maximum capacity.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=\u201dRead more on how to automate manufacturing processes\u201d link=\u201durl:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.palpack.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fhow-to-automate-manufacturing-processes%2F|target:_blank\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>2. Robots are much more reliable<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike their human counterparts, robots do not have a lunch break or holidays, and they never phone in sick. You can rely on a robot to do its job without stopping, or slowing down because it\u2019s tired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s more, a robot will consistently take the same amount of time to do a job, and always produce the same results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Increase in productivity and revenue<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So robots are quicker than manual handlers, and they have much less downtime. By working more efficiently, tray-handling robots can increase production <\/span><b>and<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revenue. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a style=\"text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 2px solid #a7be38;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.palpack.co.uk\/products\/lita\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lita<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> palletiser, for example, can produce up to 60 packs per minute \u2013 a significant increase on the output you might get from two or three people doing the same job manually.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=\u201dFind out more about PALpack\u2019s tray-handling systems\u201d link=\u201durl:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.palpack.co.uk%2Fproducts%2Fhandling-systems%2F|target:_blank\u201d][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>4. Health and safety risks minimised<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Material handling often involves a lot of repetition and heavy lifting, which carries a risk of injury. Muscle strain and joint pain are common complaints, and, in some cases, this can lead to repetitive strain injury (RSI).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using a robot to move pallets and trays instead, you can minimise the risk of injury \u2013 and the associated staff absences that cost money in lost production hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Investing now for long-term profit<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tray-handling robot requires an upfront investment, but it will pay you back over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can expect to save money on your overall wage bill, staff absences, injury payouts, and raw material wastage. With a reduction in costs and a projected rise in output, your profit margins will increase, and you\u2019ll start to benefit from a return on your investment (ROI).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The key takeaway on tray-handling robots<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a bottleneck at the palletising stage is slowing down the rest of your production line and affecting output, then it might be time to think about investing in a tray-handling robot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By cutting down on the number of people involved in material handling, you can reduce your labour bill, improve productivity, and increase your profit margin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are experienced in providing custom solutions across a range of industries, and we can help you too.
