We worked with a Life Sciences company to improve the handling of their chemical vials and improve the flexiibility of their packing methods to accomodate despatches by both ambient and chilled transport.
We came up with options to consider - seeking the balance between packaging storage and waste disposal.
It was decided that a mixture would be used to accomodate the varying pack sizes.
There was also a problem with the handling of larger cartons, with the operators unable to access them when placed on the packing station surface, so we included a lowered surface that could be folded away when not required.
Visualising the work flow
Once the pack station design was agreed in principle we then studied the best options for layout so the client could visualise the work flow and optimise their operation.
