Use Automation to Get Around
Labor Shortages
Finding qualified and reliable labor feels like it’s getting harder and harder each day. Unemployment rates continue to fall, turnover is on the rise, and recruitment costs and wages are increasing. You may be tempted to hire unqualified candidates because skilled labor is so difficult to find. There seems to be no end in sight as demand for goods and services continues to rise.
Driver shortage is projected to reach 330,000 open positions by 2024. This on-going labor situation presents a ton of productivity challenges for your business. Things like mismanagement of product, staffing gaps, frequent operator errors, and damage rates lead to higher operating costs and plummeting productivity
levels. It can feel like you’re spinning your wheels just to keep up with everything.
What if you could:
- Improve safety and reduce difficult working conditions?
- Increase comfort, making their jobs a bit easier?
- Increase productivity in your operation?
How would that impact your employee turnover? Here are our best recommendations for offsetting labor challenges:
Save Time & Money with Automation

Improve Warehouse Efficiencies
Replacing (or complementing) your manually driven forklifts and pick carts with autonomous vehicles like self-driving forklifts, pallet movers, and tuggers will give you a huge competitive advantage. Robotics and other engineered solutions are rapidly finding their way into material handling operations by replacing or working alongside operators. Here are some of our most popular automated solutions:
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) replace the need for an operator because they autonomously make trips around your warehouse gathering products. Best for repetitive routes or longer trips, they can be endlessly customized and programmable. You’ll avoid paying higher wages on weekends and overnights.
Robotic palletizers: A robotic arm stacks products into even rows and distributing weight on the pallet. Best for products that are all similar size, shape, and weight.
Conveyors and Sortation systems: For an efficient material flow in tight spaces, conveyor systems rapidly transport and sort your products so they’re ready for the next step. There are many different conveyors and sortation systems, customizable to fit your exact need.
