The Perfect Weigh! - A Case Study

What would you choose?

Traditional Operation time:
A long 16-20 minutes process

Vs.

My Forks™ scale operation time:
Only 2 minutes


'Slash costs' was mandated by a Southwestern Ontario automotive parts manufacturer.
One area of cost reduction was to find a solution to reduce piece counting time and maintain high accuracy results. This became a task for Weigh Point's My Forks™.

The current method employed the traditional movement of parts to the centrally located floor scale.

Traditional Operation Time: 16-20minutes

Utilizing My Forks™ scale kit on the customer's lift truck and incorporating the piece counting display (WP544) the customer's operation was simple. It involved raising the part bin, scanning the barcode, noting the exact piece count (computed by the system) then lowering the bin back into the storage rack.

My Forks™ Operation Time: 2 minutes

Cost Saving Per Lift Truck
This firm performed counting operations approximately 30 minutes per shift equaling a minimum saving (based on $50.00/hour)
16 minutes x 30 times = 480 minutes (8 hours)
8 hours x $50.00 = $400.00 per shift.


Choose the right My Forks™ for your application
Please Note: Although all My Fork™ systems are high accuracy (in some cases equivalent to legal for trade standard), only LTFS systems (LTSF-3 & LTFS-4) are certified legal for trade.
