Livonia, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/27/2013 -- Tim Floyd, National Sales Director for Trilogiq USA contributed to the feature article published recently in Automotive Industries. The feature article entitled, “Robots Improving Materials Handling Efficiencies While Reducing Costs,” authored by James Hilton discussed how robots have taken over most production lines and are moving onto the floor as the automotive industry adopts creative solutions to challenging situations.

Hilton, reported, “An industry already operating under onerous regulatory compliance requirements and tight supply chain margins can ill afford to lose the productivity of a machine through the absence of a worker. Machines – particularly those operated by lower-level workers – can be found standing idle in plants around the world on any given day as the benchmark absenteeism rate for the Automotive Industry is 1.77% as calculated by Incident Days / Exposed Days.”

Automated forklift operations have helped companies like Freightliner Custom Chassis to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. “Our materials department was able to show a labor cost savings of up to four hours per day for each Seegrid robot. So basically we are now saving around eight hours of labor cost per day just from the use of the robots. Our safety benefits were also a key contributor to our decision to become forklift free. Seegrid provides extremely reliable technology that greatly reduces our chances of any safety concerns from arising,” explains Timmy Mcabee, Materials Support Technician, at Freightliner Custom Chassis.
