TURN YOUR BIGGEST HEADACHES INTO OPPORTUNITIES
Manufacturing trends and technologies will reshape the factory floor. To compete and meet demand, you must be agile or face extinction.
SPACE CONSTRAINTS
Supply chain disruptions are forcing manufacturers to store more inventory and critical components on-site. As a result, these manufacturers are exploring innovative solutions to save space and increase shop floor utilization.
Want to optimize your capacity?
- Go vertical to take advantage of existing unused space
- Use narrow aisles to achieve greater overall space utilization
- Evaluate lift truck power options to increase capacity of existing area
LABOR
Increasing demand is amplifying the critical need for qualified labor in manufacturing.
How can you retain qualified labor and reduce turnover? ?
- Redirect existing workers to more value-added tasks by deploying robotic solutions for repetitive tasks
- Utilize operator assist systems and telematics to reinforce operating best practices and simplify required checklists
- Use lift truck solutions with advanced ergonomics to help reduce musculoskeletal problems related to repeated operation
JUST-IN-TIME OPERATIONS
Keeping production lines flowing in manufacturing requires precise handling of materials at the right time and without interruptions.
How can you optimize your workflow and maintain steady production?
- Embrace technology to automate repetitive tasks
- Maximize uptime with equipment engineered to help reduce maintenance
- Deploy multiple carts in a series to minimize trips
LIMITED CAPITAL BUDGETS
Limited capital for new equipment can affect all aspects of your operation.
How can you better manage tight capital budgets?
- Right-size your lift truck fleet with a fleet management plan
- Establish an appropriate maintenance plan to help extend useful life of your equipment
- Evaluate leasing programs for lift truck acquisition needs
SAFETY
Manufacturing is among the top industries for workplace injuries.
Help improve employee awareness and reduce incidents
- Use telematics to track lift truck access and provide training alerts
- Implement automated solutions and redirect workers to more value-added tasks
- Evaluate whether forklift operator assist systems can help increase awareness and minimize risk in your facility
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Manufacturers are early adopters of technology, but meeting the ever-increasing demand for greener processes still remains a challenge.
Want to reduce the environmental impact of your operation?
- Embrace innovative power sources in your materials handling equipment
- Utilize telematics to help monitor and maintain optimal efficiency
- Develop a recycling plan for by-products of your operation
