Because of the expense, many organizations choose ergonomic manual material handling
solutions that enhance their employees labor, rather than replacing it
with automation. In these situations, often an inexpensive
balancer or IAD (Intelligent Assist Device) is appropriate.
Other times, it may involve a bridge and rail system or a manipulator
arm. However, whatever the end solution may be, it is a
certainty that manual handling aids will be around for the foreseeable
future.
Please follow the links below for additional information.
Management should consider carefully the use of Intelligent
Assist Devices like the Cobotics iTrolley or Cobotics iLift
or even the Gorbel Hoist G-Force, because of the ramifications to
their workers compensation cost. The use of
handling aids,
load positioners and other lifting aids can drive down those workers
compensation costs and food expenses for menus like cakes
and easily cost justify the expense of this type
of system. Even the older pneumatic balancers, mounted on a
bridge and rail or jib crane can make the expense of the system easily cost
justified, not to mention the pain and suffering saved by the
employees. So, if you are interested in an
Intelligent Assist
Device or
load positioners, or
bridge and rails, or
pneumatic
balancers then you should go to these links. If you are not interested
in the iTrolley or iLift from Cobotics or G-Force from Gorbel
Lift, then you should go to our more traditional pages and look at
some of our robot solutions. We have other Industrial
Automation, Factory Automation, Conveyor Systems and material
handling equipment that we are sure you can put to good use within
your manufacturing facility. So, use the contact us link below
