This document discusses ways that dairies can save up to 70% of their annual water consumption through minor adjustments to their valve cleaning-in-place (CIP) programs. It recommends using a seat lift and seat push cleaning method for double-seat mixproof valves, which can quickly open and close the valve seats through repetitive motion. This method subjects the valve surfaces to high shear stress that cleans them more effectively while using less water than traditional cleaning methods. One dairy implemented this new method and was able to save over one million litres of water per year. The document provides requirements for dairy installations to achieve improved CIP efficiency and water savings, such as having fast-acting actuators and locally situated solenoid valves

No matter the size of your business, an automated bagging system will help you increase production while reducing expenses. It can reduce labor up to 80%, save up to 50% over paper envelops, and eliminate 100% of labeling and corrugated boxes.
A saving of 70% on operational costs from day one: that is just one of the outcomes resulting from the implementation by Freezeserve, one of the most advanced cold stores in the United Kingdom, of a revolutionary solution from ORTEC and SPIE. “This investment in the latest automated storage technology offers a ‘man-less’‚ cost effective storage system using the latest palletizing technology”, comments Terry Haigh, Operations Director for Freezeserve.
Four cost-effective solutions are presented to boost productivity of existing distribution systems without major capital expenditures:
1) Implementing a two-stage cross-dock process can reduce re-picking labor by over 50% while using less labor and space.
2) Reducing product spacing on sorters by 4 inches can increase throughput by up to 40% without new equipment.
3) Intelligently balancing merging lines based on real-time workload data maximizes sorter efficiency and throughput.
4) An offset wave plan balances loads across doors, optimizes staffing, and ensures waves are completed within minutes of each other.
ASRS - Rev3 Value Proposition in Supply ChainLen DeWeerdt
This document summarizes strategic automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS) systems for logistics and distribution applications.

Int order fulfillment_whitepaper_final approvedintelligrated
This document discusses three key order fulfillment metrics that are important for distribution centers (DCs) to measure: order accuracy, production pick rate, and order cycle times. It provides definitions for each metric and explains what insights they can provide about a DC's operations. The document recommends collecting at least six months of data to analyze trends. Both manual and automated DCs can measure these metrics to understand constraints and identify areas for improvement, such as staffing levels, workflow processes, and stocking activities, to enhance order fulfillment performance.
This white paper discusses factors to consider when deciding whether to transition a fulfillment operation from manual paper picking to automated paperless picking. It outlines the business challenges distribution center managers face today in meeting accuracy, productivity, and flexibility demands. The white paper recommends starting with a thorough analysis of the current operation to identify weaknesses. Automated solutions like pick-to-light and voice picking can increase productivity by 25-50% and cut training time, helping improve accuracy rates and reduce costs from returns. The document provides an example calculation showing how a 30% productivity gain from automating could result in over $112,000 in annual labor cost savings.
Today's manufacturers need to account for a wide range of packaging sizes, shapes, and materials when designing robotic palletizing systems. Choosing the correct end-of-arm tooling is essential to ensure the system can effectively handle the full range of packaging types and maximize performance, speed, uptime and return on investment. The document discusses five important questions to ask when specifying robotic tooling, including what products are being handled, required line speeds, packaging aesthetics needs, whether the robot will handle slipsheets or pallets, and whether the system needs to adapt to future packaging changes. It also provides an overview of common tooling types like vacuum, fork style, and side clamp and their best applications.
Kirkland's, a home decor retailer experiencing 30% annual growth, needed a new distribution center design to support higher throughput for handling its diverse products and accommodate growth.

The new design included conveyors, sorters, and automation to streamline product flow and fulfillment without increasing shifts.
The robotic palletizing solution from Intelligrated provided JTM Products, Inc. a 55% productivity gain. The robotic palletizer allows JTM to palletize both pails and cases with one machine, saving floor space and avoiding the need to add more workers as production increases. The robotic palletizer handles 75% of JTM's annual volume of over 200,000 pails and 150,000 cases per year, improving ergonomics for employees. The robotic solution provides flexibility for JTM to expand production capacity in the future.
The document compares conventional palletizing to robotic palletizing, discussing their relative strengths and applications. Conventional palletizers are well-suited for high-speed applications due to their continuous motion, while robots are better for low-speed, multi-line, bag, and pail palletizing due to their precision. Hybrid systems that combine robots and conventional palletizers may see growth by using robots for pattern forming and conventional methods for fast layer depositing. Both technologies will continue to be used for different applications going forward.
The Hershey Company needed a new palletizing system to handle their wide variety of low- to mid-velocity SKUs that frequently change. Intelligrated designed a hybrid system using an Alvey 780 case palletizer for higher speeds and three Motoman robots for lower speeds. This unique solution fit the space constraints and provided the flexibility needed. Hershey is satisfied with increased efficiency and ability to easily adjust to packaging changes.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
