By: TR Cutler In the current issue of Business Excellence magazine, leading manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler authored a feature article regarding the challenge of supply chain issues in distribution centers. According to Cutler, “Automation equipment is capable of handling loads of raw material, work in progress such as beer, soft drinks, cereals, candy, snack foods, as well as finished goods.” In-process automation implementations Food and CPG firms that have already purchased an automation technology solution, often experience delays, resistance, and even implementation stoppage because the process and products were poorly conceived. An independent liaison between the internal client staff and the AGV vendor is frequently needed. An objective mediator, with knowledge and experience within the sector, saves months, even years, in the implementation and execution of best practices on the plant floor, distribution center, or warehouse. A typical automation application may include a phase or multi-phases of product movements including unloading raw material from trailers to receiving, to raw material from receiving to storage, as well as raw material from storage to work in progress (WIP). The phases also include finished goods from work in progress (WIP) to storage, finished goods transportation from storage to the shipping area and loading of finished goods from shipping area to the trailers. The benefits of utilizing automation equipment and improved processes include reduced operating costs and optimized use of operations and facility space. Additional benefits include improved product quality, workplace health and safety, and reduced labor costs.
