wrapped pallet on the truck. When the wrap is complete, the operator just walks the robot to the next pallet, attaches
the film, and pushes the button. Then he's off to pull another pallet, or load the truck.

Here is a short list of additional benefits that are possible in your operation by using the robot stretch machine:

l Reduces the film cost to wrap a pallet by up to 65% over hand wrap.
l Eliminates damaged and partially used hand wrap rolls.
l Increases productivity by 25 - 35%.
l Every pallet is now wrapped just the way you want them wrapped.
l Helps to reduce overtime.
l Reduces workers comp claims
l Reduces shipping damage that was the result of poorly wrapped pallets.
l Increases worker morale by cutting back on having to hand wrap every pallet.
l Pays for itself over time with film savings.,

Footnote: Last week the Inside Scoop looked at the subject of reverse auctions. I received several interesting
responses from readers including one who stated that if one of their customers took their business out for an internet
bid, their policy is not to take place in the auction at all. I think he would be interested to know that this is actually the
policy of a growing number of manufacturers who are refusing to participate in internet auctions for all of the reasons
stated in the article and more.
