In some cases it isn't clear until it's past the point of no return and you are feeling the loss of your due dates for conveyance because of a sudden increment sought after that you hadn't anticipated. The overhead expense for an in-house worker to physically bundle your items may exceed the expense of robotized packaging hardware, it simply isn't evident that a capital venture like this will have the fast ROI you require.

So how might you decide when robotization is essential? 

It's every one of the an element of what number of bundles every moment (PPM) you need and the amount you are at present spending on work. Here's a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of going programmed or remaining manual with your packaging line:

I. Your Equipment

Manual Packaging Equipment

Lower Capital Investment

It's less expensive at first, so no compelling reason to stress over a huge venture.

Odd Shaped/Unusual/Large Products 

In the event that you have an item you are packaging that is strangely molded, unordinary in nature or if the item is vast, it may not be effortlessly mechanized. A packaging pro that comprehends your business and can be an immense advantage with deciding when and if mechanization is a reasonable choice for your packaging line.

You probably won't take a long haul perspective of the genuine expense. 

Customarily, when we see a sticker price, all we truly observe is dollar signs. By not giving much idea to the underlying dollar sum, we don't allow ourselves to weigh out the accessible alternatives. We simply don't see the future advantages of the underlying expense being returned rapidly.

Now and then spending more than foreseen forthright can spare your business enormous cash in the not really long haul! Think past this month or this quarter, or now and again this year, when settling on your choices to make a capital venture.

Computerized Packaging Machinery

Computerized packaging can diminish your staff headcount. 

Model: You have one worker working an explicit piece of your packaging line physically. Allows simply state their compensation is $15.00 every hour, completely stacked. This incorporates Social Security installments, specialist's comp, joblessness protection, and so on. This representative expenses over $31,200 every year.

Regardless of whether you contract brief work and you are paying them the lowest pay permitted by law, every worker is costing your business over $20,000 every year (in Massachusetts in any case). Buying an Automatic L-Sealer could possibly pay itself off in one year while additionally disposing of one representative from your finance.

II. Your Needs

What number of bundles every moment do you require?

Is your packaging speed controlled by upstream creation (your item is releasing at X/min)?

Provided that this is true, your generation speeds set your PPM.

Or on the other hand

Is your item amassed and conveyed over to the packaging gear in mass? 

Provided that this is true, your packaging machine sets the PPM. On the off chance that you are gathering before packaging you could run 1 day on the packaging lines rather than 2, you simply require gear that runs quick enough. There is a possibility to spare $6,000 every year relying upon your work cost structure

On the off chance that you could run the line quicker, would you be able to decrease work costs?

What amount would you say you are spending on work to run your packaging line?

How long does the line run? 

In the event that you take out 1 position, the investment funds is somewhere in the range of $25,000 to $35,000 or all the more yearly, again relying upon your work cost structure.

Take a couple of minutes to go over your present yearly expenses and gauge your alternatives when you are contemplating packaging computerization.
