A cost implication arose with the need of an inclined conveyor belt to bring the packed goods back up to the level of the automatic strapping machine. There were a number of points that needed addressing, so we brought the warehouse team together and brainstormed the options. This resulted in a multi-level improvement to the design concept.

We now placed the conveyor at bench level with a lift device to position the outer carton at the correct height for packing - then able to raise the packed carton to be moved away on the conveyor.
