  • Automated Loading System Typical Business Case Example

In the scenario that a business produces and ships a high number of pallets each day, we’ve put together an automated loading system typical business case example to help explain the benefits and how an ROI can be achieved with the investment of an automated loading system.

If a business is running a shuttle run from a factory to a warehouse and back again, they’ll benefit from an automated loading system with fewer people, trucks and forklifts.

before

A factory producing 928 pallets per day, shuttling 32 pallets each time across a 27km/16 mile journey (which we’d expect to take would take 45 minutes each away/90 minutes round trip in today’s typical congested traffic conditions) would require:

  • 3 x Warehouse forklift drivers
  • 12 x Truck drivers (working across 3 x 8-hour shifts in a 24-hour period) and;
  • 3 x Factory forklift drivers

after

However, with an automated loading solution in place in both the factory, the warehouse and the trailers moving the same number of palletised loads would require:

  • 0 x Warehouse forklift drivers
  • 6 x Truck drivers (working across 3 x 8-hour shifts in a 24-hour period) and;
  • 0 x Factory forklift drivers

The result of investing in an automated loading solution would enable a business to operate at the same capacity and save:

  • 5,998 hours forklift driving per year
  • 2,642 KMs of forklift driving per year
  • 12,350 hours waiting time for the truck drivers
  • Reduces from 4 to 2 trailers and from 12 to 6 truck drivers

  1. Do you operate a shuttle run?

  2. Do you have a high daily output of pallets?
