An Organizations Number One Asset is There People, Yet Why Do Many Organizations Grind Them Up and Out Unnecessarily?

Floor Savings up to 85%

Organizations today whether manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, medical, hospitals, institutions and pharmacies spend tremendous amount of resources in the recruiting and training of their employees. Yet, many processes and parts of their job are unnecessarily physically demanding and take its toll on the physical health of their employees.

By simply analyzing the processes, procedures and rigors required many parts of their jobs can be simplified which benefits both the employee and the employer.

How does it benefit the employee?

  • Less injuries and more enjoyable work and home life
  • Able to work consistently without medical leave and loss of pay checks
  • Not having to do a young persons job when they begin to gray and get older
  • Being able to stay with the same company and grow with them

How does this benefit the employer?

  • A reliable and stable work force
  • Less training requirements
  • Less recruiting requirements
  • Lower legal expenses
  • Being able to keep experienced employees working longer in years
  • Increasing customer satisfaction by having happy, experienced and committed employees

How Simple Is This Process?

No simple answer, but for most organizations picking parts, items, inventory, tooling, material comprises a large part of a facility’s space, time and resources. Using vertical storage solutions such as vertical carousels, VLMs and Vertical Lift Modules provide all the benefits required to make good ergonomics and accability a sound investment.

Instead of having employees spend up to 78% of their day walking and searching and only 22% of their day actually picking, by using carousels and Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) which bring the items to the operator at an ergonomic and accessible height, operators spend 78% of their time picking and 22% positioning. This helps eliminate walking, searching, bending, stretching and reaching activities which are a large source of muscular skeleton disorders (MSDs).

Vertical storage and retrieval solutions provide a Return On Investment often under 12 months. Act fast and the Unites States Government incentives are helping you afford vertical carousels and Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) if you act by the end of 2011. Call or contact Sapient Automation and our experts will be able to demonstrate not only the fast return on investment, but what benefits the US Government can provide.

Likewise, vertical storage and retrieval solutions save up to 85% of otherwise wasted floor space. This allows organizations to use this new found space for revenue generating activities, eliminate moving and expansion costs and allows greater organization and increased productivity.
