We have seen how important a role productivity plays in automobile industry in our previous article, “Productivity in Automobile”. Better productivity is always desirable as it can increase the profit margins for the company by substantial numbers. Similarly, decrease in productivity cannot only cause loss to the company, but the consumers as well. We also saw the various inputs, on which productivity is dependent, material handling being the most delicate one to handle. Improper material handling can have disastrous effects on productivity because of its limited value add.
We have always emphasized that autonomous means are the best for all the material handling requirements. In today’s topic, RAGHAV in Automobile, let us see how efficiently RAGHAV works in automobile industry to overcome their major hurdle of productivity.
- Reduced Labor Costs: RAGHAV is a one man show when it comes to transporting loads, which are usually heavy in automobile companies. Such load, if considered to be transported manually, can take hours, which RAGHAV does in minutes. Its variants are designed to carry a load of up to 1500 kilograms. You can only imagine how strenuous it is for workers to manually transport such loads.
RAGHAV is pre-programmed according to the company’s needs to move across a fixed path. So no extra efforts have to be taken for training it, as opposed to when labor is involved. Moreover, finding skilled labor is becoming more and more tedious, thanks to the growing business requirements. This deficit in demand and supply increases the labor costs beyond limits. Studies suggest that the most important factor while calculating productivity is the labor cost, even the material costs come second. Because of RAGHAV, these costs are reduced by a significant amount, which adds to reduced cost of production, hence improving productivity.
- Safer Environment: As we know, companies always have to strive about the workers’ safety. In this effort they need to provide the workers with numerous safety equipment and timely trainings. Even in case of fork lifts or conveyors, countless safety precautions have to be taken into account, as already discussed in our previous articles. RAGHAV is installed with 8+ state of the art sensors to detect obstacles within a wide range. This provides with safer environment with reduced safety costs. Safer workplace means less shop floor accidents. Such healthy working atmosphere is highly recommended as it promotes the well being of employees and increases their efficiency.
Time Saving: Since our childhood the phrase “Time is Money” has been engraved on our minds so well. But have you ever thought that productivity is essentially the practical example of this phrase? Higher productivity means getting more output in the same or even less amount of time. RAGHAV helps you achieve the same by saving the precious time of workers, which is spent in material handling instead of actual manufacturing. Companies don’t have to worry about shifts anymore as RAGHAV can operate continuously for 8-16 hours. With no downtime and fast charging, RAGHAV wins over the traditional material handling methods. Thus, by increasing the productivity and profits, it literally translates the above phrase into reality.
- Minimized Loss: With RAGHAV every load is handled with care, be it small or gigantic. There is less damage to the raw material as well as finished products while transporting because of no human interference. Resultantly, companies face minimum loss and achieve maximum output. So, when RAGHAV is at work, you can relax and think about other productive activities beneficial for the company.
- Maximum Capital Utilization: With adaptive models meeting the exact minimum requirements of the company, RAGHAV is cost friendly. Installing the guidance path mechanism is also very easy and so is instating RAGHAV for the first time. And the biggest advantage of RAGHAV is only one-time initial investment as opposed to all other material handling technics which are quite high maintenance. Imagine a framework where in you don’t have to arrange inductions, trainings and learning courses time and again for the workers. Wouldn’t it save a lot of investment and efforts? The same capital can be utilized for better requirements. Achieving maximum utilization of capital is nothing but improvement in productivity.
Thus, RAGHAV increases the overall efficiency of all the processes in an automobile industry. So the cost of production is reduced, resources are utilized to their optimum and maximum productivity is achieved. Currently, we have a wide range of clients from the automobile sector who have adopted RAGHAV for their material handling needs and are indeed very happy with it.
We feel RAGHAV helps make material handling a fun and easy going activity instead of an overhead. Don’t you agree?
