the $ math
productivity is the net result that an intellifeed feeding system achieves.
immediately after our latest installation, the packaging line upon which
the intellifeeder was installed ran three times (3X) faster than it ever
had before.
the de-coupled nature of the feeding system allows for much higher up-times
within the line, and dares to question the wisdom of completely coupled
lines. mini-intellifeeders may make it possible for lines to continue
to run uninterrupted while pouchers are filled or cartoners un-jammed.
near perfect synchronization with the cartoner decreases the number
of missed buckets, thus reducing the re-cycling of product throughout
the line.
direct payback and return on investment are further realized in a very
short term when additional factors are considered. payroll wages and benefits
are reduced or eliminated, saving thousands of dollars each year. worries
of insurance claims for repetitive disorder diseases and other injuries
are dramatically reduced. sick days and vacations do not exist as product
normally fed manually is replaced with automated feeding systems.
valuable labor resources can be re-deployed to areas within the company
that utilize these resources more efficiently than the repetitive, menial
toil of feeding and product placement.
