DDS CONVEYOR INC | www.ddsconveyor.com | Conveyors, Conveyor Systems & more! <br /> <br />A: Robotics, automation such as conveyors & conveyor systems help an enormous amount by speeding up the packaging process which ultimately drives more business. For some organizations — especially those that are smaller in size — bringing in automated systems represents **a threat to employment and an elimination of jobs** . However, automation is ideal for tasks that are tedious and repetitive in nature as well as for tasks workers will not or cannot do. Additionally, automation can be a critical tool for completing difficult tasks where frequent staff rotations are required. <br /> <br />Some companies may be wary of pursuing automation due to the stigma of high cost associated with implementation, but with regular advancements and innovations, automated systems are more attainable than ever before. For example, only a few years ago, the cost of an automated palletizer could exceed $250,000, which places a reasonable return on investment (ROI) out of reach for many users. Today, many packaging-line installations come equipped with robotic palletizing at a cost nowhere near that of previous years. When compared with the cost of labor required to complete the same task — such as hoisting 50 pounds of product at a rate of 25 times per minute — it becomes clear that automated systems offer distinct advantages.
