Cisco Eagle Manager Recommends Prevention of Conveyor Bottlenecks on Hytrol Blog

 

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/14/2014 -- Conveyors are the backbone of effective material handling systems. Scott Stone, the E-business manager for Cisco-Eagle, Inc., recommended five ways to prevent conveyor bottlenecks from occurring in the Hytrol company blog. Hytrol Conveyor Company, Inc. manufactures advanced conveyor systems, controls, and solutions to the material handling industry.

Stone shared, “Conveyor systems in manufacturing and warehouse operations can significantly reduce costs, increase productivity, drive throughput, align with lean principles, and create a safer, more ergonomic production environment.” To keep the material handling system running smoothly, the five best practices for preventing conveyor bottlenecks include:

1.Robotic palletizing: Since robots work tirelessly and perform consistently, automation frees up expensive manpower for more valuable work requiring the human touch.

2.Packing stations: The packing area is a common conveyor bottleneck, especially in distribution applications.

3.Regular conveyor inspections: Inspecting a conveyor at regular intervals can both help avoid expensive and time-consuming repairs and ensure it runs at all times (including when you need it most, such as rush times).

4.Common fixes to problems: Conveyor service is expensive and can often avoid it by knowing the fixes to common issues.

5.Facility upgrades: Hytrol conveyors can help alleviate bottlenecks caused by increasing volumes in consolidation, packing, and shipping areas.
