Automation with Adelphi can ease Brexit impact

Automation Easing Brexit Impact
The uncertainty and potential disruptions caused by changes in trade regulations, customs procedures, and supply chain logistics following Brexit have prompted businesses to seek greater resilience. Automated filling processes can contribute to this resilience by minimizing the dependence on manual labour, which can be affected by labour shortages or delays at border crossings. Additionally, automation ensures consistency and precision in filling operations, reducing the likelihood of errors and product defects that could arise from human factors. With automated systems, manufacturers can also adapt more rapidly to fluctuating demand and supply chain disruptions, enhancing flexibility in response to the dynamic post-Brexit landscape. The ability to maintain efficient and reliable filling processes through automation enables businesses to navigate the challenges of Brexit with greater agility and minimize potential bottlenecks in the production and distribution of goods.
This month’s PPMA magazine is keen to promote the way that automation can help processing businesses cope with the effects of Brexit. Andrew Mint, CEO, asserts that “with packhouses grappling with an imminent EU labour crisis, combined with rising minimum wages”, many processors “are seriously exploring automation” as a solution.
Automation or semi-automation can improve the rate of processing for many, and Adelphi’s turnkey production lines save clients the hassle of dealing with multiple suppliers to achieve automation for their businesses. Production aspects available include Rotary infeed/outfeed, Washing, Sterilising, Induction sealing, Labelling and coding, Elevators, Case packers, Conveyor systems, Palletisers, Container unscramblers, Shrink wrappers, Ink jet printers and Visual inspection units.
And according to Andrew, now is the best time to invest; “with freedom of movement due to end in Spring 2019, most should be able to see payback by the time the UK leaves the EU”.
