Implement automation using a phased approach
Splitting a distribution facility project into phases that incrementally automate specific sections of your ops is a viable “two-birds-one-stone” solution. This method enables automation where your facility may need it most, but is engineered in such a way that it can link cohesively with your existing systems, and provides options for future equipment and lines.
When optimizations are require to grow, but the cost of a complete overhaul is too big a bite to chew – phasing the project into distinct segments that allow daily ops to be completed in tandem is a solution Century often recommends to our clients.Â
Benefits of Phasing
- Budget minded - break a large capex project into cost-digestible phases
- This makes executive buy-in and allocations easier to acquire
- Implement new automation technology where it counts
- Open new lines, maximize space, eliminate manual ops, and grow business quicker
- A phased approach gives more time to train, test, and capture results for each new installation
