Hygiene standards & food safety

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Food and beverage manufacturing facilities must maintain high levels of cleanliness and hygiene. Manual handling processes can increase the risk of contamination, spills and leakage if not properly managed. All materials and storage areas need to meet sanitation standards and be easy to clean.

Acme Solution

Automation solutions help transport, store, or palletise goods in a consistent and predictable manner, avoiding collision or damage. 

Our range of food-grade conveyor belts & hygiene solutions can transport even raw ingredients safely and can be equipped with add-on cleaning units.

Productivity

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Labour-intensive processes such as loading and unloading, palletising, and safe material movement and storage can slow down operations significantly, especially for heavy ingredients. Other factors, such as temperature control can further restrict productivity.

Acme Solution

Robotic or semi-automated vacuum handling solutions enable faster & safer palletisation.

Conveyor systems can be used to transport ingredients and finished goods without the need for manual lifting or carrying. 

AS/RS help safely store and retrieve material in high-density racks.

Space Management

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

Warehouses often require wide aisles for forklifts to maneuver and are restricted in height due to their reach limitations. Inadequate space utilisation can lead to clutter, disorganisation, and difficulty in locating materials.

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, while also making it easy to adhere to First-In, First-Out (FIFO) principles to ensure product freshness and prevent spoilage.

Operational Cost

Manual Handling

Labour, equipment, and training are needed to keep operations running smoothly and products handled safely. For manual operations with fluctuating demand, it can be hard to source additional manpower short-term and ensure timely training.

Acme Solution

Conveyors, AS/RS systems, and other automated solutions move goods 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.
