   Efficiency Calculator

The Automatic Nesting System is designed to replace the people involved with packaging and sorting at your plant. Depending on the number of shifts, this could range anywhere from 8-20 people. Use the efficiency calculator below to see how much you could be saving in material handling costs by using our automated
nesting system.

In effect, the system will allow you to eliminate every position between the graders
and the forklift operator.

(# of workers) x (avg. salary & benefits) x (# of shifts) = annual cost savings



 Number of workers per shift:  
Average salary & benefits per worker:   
Number of shifts per day:   
 

ADDITIONAL COST-SAVING BENEFITS:

  • Real-time performance data on machinery, employees and lumber allows
    you to practice preventative maintenance, to pinpoint inefficiencies and make adjustments on the fly
  • Fewer people means less HR emphasis on employee turnover, recruitment
    and training
  • Elimination of employees at the nesting station allows managers and supervisors to focus more attention on other critical areas
  • Increased production speeds lower per unit cost
  • Accuracy in packaging reduces claims and eliminates overshipments
  • Faster line changes with automated clean-out routine means less
    down time
