The Situation: Seasonal Peaks in Logistics
When e-commerce orders skyrocket, daily shipping volumes often triple. In Logistics & Trade, this means mixed SKUs arrive at the packing station every second. Different formats of boxes and crates as well as fluctuating weights quickly turn order picking into a massive physical strain for the team. Simply adding more staff to the line often fails in the standard industrial environment due to a lack of space or labor availability.
Why it Matters: Throughput Without Fatigue
To keep throughput stable, manual operations must be precise – without causing premature fatigue. Physical overload quickly leads to dropping pick rates towards the end of the shift and increases the risk of downtime due to back pain. Relying on muscle power during peak times slows down your entire process.
The Solution: The Synergy of ezzFAST and ezzLIFT
The interaction of two systems brings calm and efficiency to the shipping process:
At the packing station: The vacuum tube lifter ezzFAST grips parcels of various sizes on the fly. Lifting, swiveling, and placing are done in one fluid motion. Cycle times remain high, while the physical effort for the team is minimal.
On the floor: For the routes between the picking zone and the shipping ramp, the mobile lifting aid ezzLIFT takes over. Heavy large formats or stacked returns are safely transported and precisely handed over without a permanently installed crane system.
Measurable Benefits for Your Warehouse
- Consistent Performance: Stable pick rates even in the eighth hour of work, as physical strain is minimized.
- Efficient Personnel Deployment: No need for additional staff just for lifting heavy parcels.
- Health Protection: Reduced downtime due to back pain during peak picking phases.
Peak times demand enough from your team. Lifting technology shouldn't be a bottleneck. Prepare for the busiest shipping weeks of the year.
