At one Customer in Food and Beverage, at least once a week a pallet gets stuck in their palletizing cells or disrupts the automated warehouse. With one out of seven cranes taken out of service for an average of one hour to two hours with worst cases stretching upwards of twenty-four hours the warehouse efficiency is highly impacted. Operational 6 days per week over three shifts, this gives around 45000 operational hours, which yields a per hour value of SEK61000 per crane. With 50 events per year, the total cost ends up being ~3,1MSEK. This could easily be reduced by assuring the quality of the pallets by inspecting pallets with IVISYS PALLETAI.

Sustainable pallet handling and flow
Decreased footprint impact of your end-to-end system compared to traditional mechanic and manual sorting systems. IVISYS PALLETAI contributes to a smaller footprint of the end-to-end system compared to traditional mechanical and manual sorting system. IVISYS PALLETAI solution drives reduction in emissions through your pallet supply chain by accepting unsorted pooled pallets, removing the need for them to go through a depot for sorting which incurs additional transportation emissions.
One of IVISYS customers in the Food and Beverage Industry is shipping 3 000 000 pallets per Year. To be able to handle such volumes of pallet inspection; it would require around 3600 full truck loads at 50 km roundtrip. Avoiding these shipments alone would save 1 280 000 kg of CO2 emissions annually. With 3 000 000 pallets per Year, if 15 percent of 390 000 pallets are defective, the customer must pay 30 SEK per pallet, the total cost of sorting and repairing pallets would be 11,7 MSEK per Year. If you calculate the direct costs, plus indirect costs for on/off loading pallets the value of loading time would end up allowing you to excessive savings. By integrating IVISYS PALLETAI great amount of savings from various aspects undoubtedly could be achieved, and the ROI increased significantly compared to off-site sortation.
