These are 7 advantages of implementing innovation and automation in your F&B industrial plant thanks to a conveyor system. Check them out and decide today to improve your processes:
1.- Modularity
Conveyor systems provide modularity; that means the flexibility of changing, adjusting, reducing or increasing equipment as the company and production plant change.
Usually, F&B industries change their products according to the market and latest trends, and for that reason, conveyor systems must provide modularity and adaptability.
2.- Energy saving
When selecting a conveyor system, it is better to choose energy-saving and eco-friendly equipment, since the higher energy saving you get, the less power consumption you have.
Certain areas of equipment of conveyors have to be able to stop when products are not being moved without generating an operational crisis. In fact, the F&B industry by itself demands this kind of technology in the automated instruments from vendors.
3.- Ergonomics
Conveyor system shall have a previous ergonomics analysis especially in specific operational areas, for example, the review of labeling, corrugating or palletizing where it is recommended to have an ergonomic design that provides productivity and practicality during execution.
Companies must take into account all Mexican and international operation regulations before implementing equipment in their industries.
4.- Food grade
It is important to pay attention to the manufacturing material of each conveyor system; for example, conveyors have to be stainless steel, there must not be corners with waste or residues. In additions, different detailed safety measures can be implemented according to the kind of industry.
5.- Order and institutionalization
We can summarize an implementation as a strategy to order processes (in which uniformity, quality and productivity are essential) apart from human factors and in their favor. A professionally designed and implemented system will substantially modify any area in a company.
