“The level of automation that we have been able to achieve via SQL integrations with SOLIDWORKS Electrical has allowed us to save significant amounts of time. Our designers report drawing speed increases ranging from 25 to 50 percent, and a detailed look at our projects over a five-year period revealed that we are saving an average of 2,033 man-hours per year.”
4 Best Practices for Efficient Material Handling
An effective material handling process is the key to achieve warehouse efficiency. It requires management of available resources and adoption of best practices in material handling process to enjoy maximum productivity at minimum cost. The following are four practices to implement for effective material handling processes.
Focus on Automation
Automation is the key to driving productivity and efficiency in the warehouse environment. Many companies use automation and material handling strategies to suit the needs of their business. Automation tools and devices include conveyor systems, RF devices as well as automated storage and retrieval systems.
Direct Put-away Processes
This practice bypasses the staging process and relocates the products to their destination as soon as they are received. It also makes it easier to pick and ship a product, improving the order-fill rates. It also reduces and avoids space issues, transaction errors, and damage.
Radiofrequency Identification
Radiofrequency identification is a technology that helps to spot and track products using electromagnetic fields. For example, a tag is attached to each product with pertinent information, which can be changed upon relocation. Companies also use sensors in combination with radio frequency identification for real-time tracking and maximum warehouse efficiency.
Organize
The efficient material handling process is only possible in a clean, well-organized warehouse. For all the latest technology and practices to be effective, the workplace needs to be clean and organized in the first place. Unoptimized work conditions and warehouse environment lead to product damage, loss of production, and safety problems.

The Significance of Automation in Meat Processing
Automation has taken the world by storm one industry at a time. As a result of the increase in the demand for meat products, manufacturers continue to use and update automation in meat processing to meet consumer needs.
Traditionally, most of the work in meat processing is manual. This work includes deboning, cutting, and shredding various types of meat including pork, beef, and poultry. However, these tasks are physically draining, strenuous, and can cause injuries. By adapting automation in meat processing, these issues are alleviated.
The benefits of updated automation in meat processing
It is crucial for meat processing manufacturers to maintain updated automation to provide safe and quality products to the end user. Utilizing the latest automation in meat processing offers many benefits, such as:
Updating infrastructure and USDA certification
Automation and upgrading of systems can help meet the standards required by the USDA. In addition, it continues operation of equipment at the high specifications required of food grade level processing lines.
Production quota
When using advanced automation in meat processing, it decreases cycle time to increase the production rate. This factor enables the manufacturer to reach a higher capacity and meet consumer demands at a faster pace.
Improvement in safety
You can improve safety because the decrease in contact with human hands significantly reduces the chance of meat contamination, leading to a more hygienic end product. It also results in a significant decrease in injuries because workers are less exposed to moving mechanisms.
Sanitation
Automated Process lines that are designed with sanitation in mind can reduce sanitation time requirements and increase hygienic effectiveness. Consequently, automation in meat processing protects both the product and consumer better from contamination.
