Coronavirus has changed the way we live our day to day lives, which includes how and where people work. This creates unique challenges to overcome we haven’t had to deal with before in manufacturing.
One solution to these problems is automation, especially automating container handling on production lines.
COVID-19 may have faced us with a number of problems seen on a manufacturing floor, but here’s three ways that automation can help your operation:
1. SOCIAL DISTANCING
One of the biggest challenges companies are facing because of COVID-19 is finding ways to keep their employees at a safe distance of 6 feet apart. This becomes an even bigger challenge in manufacturing, where you often see multiple people working close together on one production line. At Morrison, we offer our customers a variety of automation options that may be the solution to your problem. By automating one part of the production line process, you’re often able to move a worker to a different part of the floor. This can be to a more important job or just to keep your employees safe and separated. The opportunities to upgrade and improve your production line are endless with Morrison’s expert container handling solutions and customizable capabilities.
2. MAKE UP FOR REMOTE WORKERS
Remote working has become the norm for a lot of people in some fashion. You may no longer be working with the same number of people physically with you as you’re normally used to. Many companies may be struggling keeping enough people on their manufacturing floors, and automation can help take care help lighten the load on the more laborious parts of a production line.
3. PEOPLE OUT OF WORK SICK
COVID or no COVID, we’re still deep into cold and flu season. On top of COVID-19, that means the possibility for more people out sick than your company may be used to. Don’t let challenges like these affect the efficiency of your company.
Our experts can help you decide where adding automation to a part of your production line may be the solution you need to account for less labor and sick days. Think of things like stacking cups, looking for down bottles, or spacing containers prior to packaging applications. In these cases and many more, you can let the machine do the work for you and allow your workers to focus on more critical tasks.
See it in action! Here’s just one way that Morrison’s automation products can change the way your production line functions.
