NOVA Automation understands the misconceptions surrounding automation – especially when it comes to how a new system impacts your current employees.
Quite often, business owners believe implementing automated systems will eliminate jobs.
This is simply not true and is one of the many objections business owners commonly have about automation.
The truth is, automation improves efficiency, provides better jobs with more retention, and more importantly limits human error.
Controlling Illness in Your Manufacturing Plant
Traditional packaging lines often require employees to operate in extremely close proximity to one another. This can be eliminated by automating the process. In our current climate, nothing causes more downtime than a COVID outbreak.
How Packaging Machinery Automation Impacts Employment
Investing in an automated packaging system doesn’t mean you are taking jobs away from your employees. Instead, it means you can hire far less of them. Laborers will inevitably leave your company. When this happens, it can be extremely difficult to find additional workers, especially with the dramatic labor shortage facing companies today.
With an automated system, hiring and training new employees is a breeze. Our machines are designed to be incredibly user-friendly. The interface can be learned quickly by new employees.
Now, when someone leaves your company, you aren’t stuck training to operate a complicated piece of equipment for months on end. Instead, training can be done in a small fraction of that time.
Automation Leads to Employee Safety
Workplace safety is a big issue for companies of all shapes and sizes. Whether you have manual processes or automation in place, workplace incidents are bound to happen.
Workplace injuries resulting from repetitive motion or lifting heavy loads are all too common and end up costing companies enormous amounts of money.
Investing in an automated system is not only investing in your process, it’s investing in the safety of your employees.
