When does an investment in an ErgoPack System pay off?
An ErgoPack system is a worthwhile investment whenever you are strapping pallets manually and value efficiency, ergonomics, and safety in your operations. ErgoPack is specifically designed to make a measurable difference in all these areas - starting from the very first pallet.
When ErgoPack really pays off:
- Ergonomically straining tasks: If employees regularly need to bend down or walk around pallets to strap them, ErgoPack significantly reduces physical strain and fatigue.
- Reducing downtime: The ergonomic design minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, helping lower absenteeism and long-term personnel costs.
- Growing production volumes: ErgoPack systems scale effortlessly with your output - no major upgrades required.
- Error prevention: Standardized, semi-automated processes improve strapping consistency, reliability, and safety.
- High workload: With ErgoPack, pallets can be strapped twice as fast compared to manual methods - saving substantial time and improving workflow.
- High pallet turnover: The more pallets you process, the greater the impact. Time savings and efficiency increase exponentially with higher volume.
Sample Cost-Benefit Calculation:
A company straps an average of 30 pallets per day.
Manually, one strapping takes approx. 3 minutes; with ErgoPack, only about 1.5 minutes.
Without ErgoPack:
30 pallets × 3 minutes = 90 minutes per day
90 minutes × 220 working days = 330 hours per year
330 hours × €33/hour (including labor costs) = €10,890 per year
With ErgoPack:
30 pallets × 1.5 minutes = 45 minutes per day
45 minutes × 220 working days = 165 hours per year
165 hours × €33/hour = €5,445 per year
→ Savings: approx. €5,445 annually from time savings alone.
Additional Benefits (Not Included in This Calculation):
-
Reduced sick leave due to fewer strain-related injuries
-
Increased employee motivation thanks to ergonomic working conditions
-
Greater process reliability and consistent strapping quality
