Material Traceability

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Construction Materials often need to meet specific quality and safety standards. Tracking the origin, batch, and expiration dates can be harder with manual systems, which can lead to using expired or subpar materials, compromising the quality of the final product.

Acme Solution

Automation solutions in combination with smart software can greatly enhance material traceability & quality control. AS/RS efficiently store and retrieve materials with precise tracking, while conveyors automate movement, aiding in real-time tracking and origin verification.

Operational Cost

Manual Handling

Manual materials handling and storage can be labor-intensive and physically demanding. 

This can result in increased labor costs, higher chances of workplace injuries, and fatigue among workers. Without automation, the potential for human errors also increases, affecting both efficiency and safety.

Acme Solution

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

Construction materials can be large, heavy, and irregularly shaped, making efficient space utilisation a significant challenge. Maximizing storage capacity while maintaining accessibility and safety is essential but can be difficult without automation.

Acme Solution

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems and smart software solutions allow for better use of existing warehouse space, maximising vertical and horizontal storage space.

Product & Worker Safety

Manual Handling

Accidents can happen despite safety measures and trainings. When handling heavy or non-standard products, the risk increases.

Acme Solution

Robotics, conveyors and AS/RS help transport, store or palletise goods, including heavy or hazardous materials, in a consistent and predictable manner, avoiding collision or damage. 3D Vision & AI Systems for robots and cobots identify defects, cracks, or irregularities in materials, preventing subpar materials from reaching the market.

Compliance Challenges

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Construction material manufacturers need to adhere to a variety of regulations regarding materials handling and storage. Manual facilities can be difficult to keep in compliance with these regulations. 

Acme Solution

Implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS) helps track inventory levels, locations, and movements and ensure that materials are stored and handled in accordance with regulations. 

Using barcodes and RFID to identify and track materials prevents errors and ensures that materials are handled in a safe and compliant manner.

Safety sensors can be used to detect hazards and prevent accidents.
