Скачать или смотреть How I Fixed a Chronic Strapper Bottleneck & Cut Load Time in Half

All production lines fed into one manual strapper — it was the chronic bottleneck. Loads took 8 minutes each, finished product piled up in the plant, storage space wasted, raw intake limited, overtime exploded, shipments delayed.

Here’s how I fixed it in two phases:

Phase 1 – Quick Wins (low cost, immediate):
Ergonomic tools (better strapping guns, adjustable stands, rollers)
Workflow tweaks (better positioning)
→ Load time dropped to 5–6 minutes fast

Phase 2 – Automation (higher cost, long-term):
Limit switches & photo eyes for automatic load movement
Sourced new automatic strapper
→ Final load time: 4 minutes (50% reduction)

Results:
50% faster per load
Storage freed, intake increased, overtime down, team & clients happier
