If you already have a conveyor system in place but want to improve its performance, capacity, or efficiency, upgrading your system with a UK manufacturer can be a smart choice. Here at CCL we don't just work solely in the UK, but that is where we are based and where the majority of our contracts are fulfilled.
There are several factors to consider to ensure that you get the most out of your investment ie a new conveyor system and in this weeks blog post, we'll explore the top five factors to consider when upgrading your conveyor system with UK manufacturers, CCL.
Cost and ROI. One of the most important factors to consider when upgrading your conveyor system is the cost and potential return on investment (ROI). While upgrading your system may require a significant investment upfront, it can save you money in the long run by improving your operational efficiency and reducing downtime. Consider factors such as the cost of the new system, installation and commissioning fees, and ongoing maintenance costs. Also, estimate the ROI by calculating the potential cost savings or revenue increase that the new system can provide. Think carefully about critical timelines and when you could expect the equipment to reap its rewards and pay you back in kind.
Compatibility with Existing Equipment. Does your new equipment, integrate with what you already have in place? if not you need to think about this up front because integration can be a hidden cost. You want to ensure that the new system integrates seamlessly with your current machinery and doesn't cause any disruptions to your operations. At the very least if problems are going to occur in regards to connectivity then you need to be aware. Working with us here at CCL will mean that we will check to see if we can seamlessly integrate or customise the new system to match the specifications of your existing equipment.
Capacity and Throughput. If your business has grown, you may need to upgrade your conveyor system's capacity to handle increased throughput. Consider the amount of material you need to transport and the speed at which you need to move it. Capacity and the amount of work a conveyor needs to handle are always part of our early stage discussion with a customer, to determine if the new system can meet your throughput needs.
Safety Features. Another important factor to consider when upgrading your conveyor system is its safety features. Safety should always be a top priority in any material handling operation. We are bound by tight legislation when it comes to safety. The things we consider as a matter of course include emergency stop buttons, safety guarding, and warning alarms. A new system should always comply with relevant health and safety regulations and guidelines.
Customisation and Flexibility. We say this constantly but every system is bespoke, so with CCL we will always customise the new conveyor system to match your specific needs and requirements. The system should be flexible enough to handle different types of materials, layouts, and configurations. We always ensure that the new system will meet your unique operational requirements.
Upgrading your conveyor system with us here at CCL can improve your operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase profitability. It's critical to consider factors such as cost, compatibility, capacity, safety features, and customisation before investing in a new system.
