According to Tim Hoj, CEO at HOJ Innovations, conveyors are a critically important piece of equipment in a warehouse or distribution center. With so many moving parts on the floor of the warehouse, it can seem impossible to manage everything all the time. Without the proper conveyor solution, the warehouse may suffer from decreased productivity with inventory being sorted incorrectly or workers picking inefficiently.
Adding conveyors can increase efficiency and productivity by preventing the labor fulfillment team from running back and forth between sections of the warehouse. Lost time in transit compounds, creating unnecessary setbacks. Thirty minutes of lost daily productivity per employee hurts tight margins.
Conveyors can also help the team avoid accidents. With multiple pickers trying to move heavy products in the same place at the same time, there is a risk in them running into each other. Conveyors eliminate these types of incidents from occurring.
Alex Banner at Medium adds one more reason to use conveyors: they are faster than other systems. He says, “While they [conveyors] can take up the most space out of all the methods the result and speed at which they transfer any item from A to B is well worth the space.”
Conveyor systems are vitally important to improve the function of your warehouse. The team at HOJ Innovations are skilled with decades of experience in installing all kinds of systems, and can help warehouse operators discover which conveyor system is best for any warehouse.
