Automation can also get those bulk or rush orders completed in less time and allow you to accept a lot more orders without worrying about the turn around time. Companies that have updated their packaging procedures to automated processes report a large increase in productivity, at least a 50% reduction in labour costs, and a considerable reduction in the start-to-finish process time. Machines can pack up to 5 times faster than if it is done manually, and there is no human error to account for, the system counts the number of packs/bags for each order with a 100% accuracy rate. Wastage is practically zero as the end result is much neater and more professional than if done by hand.
