Productivity:Boosts pack-to-ship performance while minimizing labor requirements.
A productivity makeover can cut pack-to-ship costs by more than two-thirds. Deimling explains that nearly two years ago, the department was using a three-person packing crew – one person on the forklift and two people to wrap the load. "The forklift operator would have to stop everything, find two people pull them off their jobs, so they could take up 20 minutes to wrap one load. This was costly, time consuming and very inefficient. With the new stretch wrap system, one person can do the job of three.” “Before the Yellow Jacket we were doing only about 30 pallets a day. Now, we’re doing 80 to 90 pallets each day, and I can turn a truck in about 15 minutes. Before, it would take nearly an hour…” Click here for full story... — Jack Deimling, Shipping Manager for Tri-State Fabricators, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio

Wayne, Indiana "Perfect for [Equalizer Systems] growing business volumes and need for speed, the Yellow Jacket 110 provided a way to minimize labor costs and increase productivity in their shipping department. In my job, when considering how we used to prepare pallets for shipment, out Yellow Jacket Wrapper is probably one of the greatest work tools I have ever used. One man does the job opposed to two or three guys trying to handle the plastic in an effort to get the pallet of goods wrapped securely.” Click here for full story... — John Hill, Shipping Manager for Equalizer Systems, Elkhart, Indiana
“Steel banding was definitely a two-man operation…Now with the Yellow Jacket 110, we have nearly tripled our pack-to-ship productivity and we need only one man to prepare the load for shipment. Out two-man operation used to take 15 minutes per pallet. Now our one-man operation takes under five minutes per load. The Yellow Jacket 110 is a big plus in getting more product out the door.” Click here for full story... — Bill Staber, President of Staber Industries, Groveport, Ohio |
