Automation cuts costs

13 December 2013

European Conveyor Systems has completed a compact, cost-effective packing cell with a high degree of automation that minimises manual handling and staffing levels at Vauxhall Motors’ aftersales warehouse in Bedfordshire.

Vauxhall previously used an external subcontractor to pack and deliver 100,000 sets of brake discs and pads a year to dealers and distributors throughout the UK.

The new installation, which cost a similar amount to the annual contract, allows the packing to be carried out in-house by two operatives and is capable of dealing with considerably higher throughput if required in future.
