Protect And Organize Raw And Finished Goods

Heavy duty plastic conveyer and storage totes will reduce damage to products that need to be weighed prior to shipment or delivery and will help your factory workers keep track of products that are mass-produced daily. If your business currently relies upon storage solutions that are rather archaic and unconventional, invest in a more modern approach to protecting and organizing raw and finished goods.

Purchase Conveyor Totes And Add Them To The Routine

A conveyor tote tends to have an elongated shape that will fit on a standard conveyor belt and that is designed to be grasped with ease. The bottom of each tote will have a slightly textured surface so that each one will remain stable while being transported along the length of a conveyor belt.

These types of totes come in a multitude of colors, which will help your employees categorize finished goods and keep track of the overall number that have been produced.

Purchase enough totes so that each work crew will be supplied with plenty while they are working at their assigned posts. Divvy up the totes and provide each group with a collection that includes each of the colors that you have purchased. Tell your workers what items should be deposited in each tote and the point of access in which you would like a worker to place a tote on a conveyor belt or remove it for weighing or packing purposes. 

Request That Loose Materials Are Placed In Rolling Bins

Before raw materials or finished goods are categorized, they may be placed in various work areas. This could cause items to become mixed together and make it difficult for your workers to gather up the items that they need to complete the assignments that they have been given.

Large plastic bins that are designed to roll across flat surfaces will put an end to the chaotic setting that your employees may be accustomed to. Purchase a couple heavy duty plastic storage containers for each work area. Inform your workers that you would like them to place raw materials in one bin and finished goods in another one.

Workers can move the bins to various spots in their work areas without needing to lift heavy materials or risk losing any of the items that they have been supplied with. Products also won't be likely to become damaged, since less handling will be involved prior to and during the production phase.
