Facing & solving industry challenges
Product & Worker Safety
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Accidents can happen despite safety measures and trainings. There is a risk of spills, leaks, and explosions, which can lead to serious injuries and a negative impact on the environment. When handling heavy or non-standard products, the risk increases.
Robotics, AS/RS and conveyors equipped with smart sensors and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) help transport, store or palletise goods in a consistent and predictable manner to avoid collision or damage, improve communication and coordination between workers, and provide real-time monitoring of the manufacturing process.
Productivity
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Labour-intensive processes such as loading and unloading, palletising, and safe material movement and storage can slow down operations significantly, especially for hazardous chemicals. Other factors, such as temperature control and segregation of chemicals by hazard level, can further restrict productivity.
Automating chemical handling improve efficiency, reduce risk, and free up workers for other tasks. Conveyor systems can be used to transport chemicals without the need for manual lifting or carrying. AS/RS help safely store and retrieve chemicals in high-density racks. Robots can be used to handle hazardous chemicals and perform a wide range of applications.
Handling Accuracy
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Manual materials handling can be error-prone. Workers may make mistakes when picking, packing, or shipping chemicals, which can lead to quality problems or even product recalls.
Automation solutions equipped with smart sensors and PLCs help ensure that chemicals are handled in a consistent and predictable manner, as well as in the correct quantities and at the correct temperatures, while reducing the risk of errors.
Operational Cost
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Labour, equipment, and training are needed to keep operations running smoothly and chemicals handled safely. For manual operations with fluctuating demand, it can be hard to source additional manpower short-term and ensure timely training.
Conveyors, AS/RS systems, and other automated solutions move chemicals quickly and efficiently, with significantly reduced risk of accidents or errors. Automation solutions can integrate all aspects of the materials handling process, from picking and packing to shipping, reducing labour- and cost-intense processes.
Space Management
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Warehouses often require wide aisles for forklifts to maneuver, are restricted in height due to their reach limitations, and need to factor in different storage requirements for different chemicals, which limit the overall storage capacity.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems and smart software solutions allow for better use of existing warehouse space in height and density, while taking special storage needs into account. They can operate accurately and safely in extreme environments and harsh temperatures if required.
