John Hayes Automation Referee Explained Labor and Equipment of New Projects Overlooked

Dec. 9, 2014 - PRLog -- The typical factions that require an automation referee are cost centers. John Hayes, founder and CEO of No Risk Automation explained, “Typically a project is adopted by a department and is found to be beneficial but the impact on other departments is overlooked. This impact can be added cost for labor or equipment to interface with the new automation. In general this cost is low, but all good managers want to stay within budget. In most cases, this is easily mitigated by having a discussion with senior management to assess the total benefit to the company by shifting budgets and responsibilities. The project then takes on a more holistic, collaborative approach.”

Hayes suggested, “Until automation selection is based on knowledge and information, vendors will make suggestions about solutions that may or may not be in the warehouse, distribution, or manufacturers’ best interest.  This newsletter is to keep an open conversation about trends, best-practices, and technology pros and cons for those that are in the active planning and automation purchasing stage.  This publication will ensure that the appropriate questions are being asked and answered.”
