compared to 14% in 2017 and 18% at the end of 2021. Despite
these advancements, less than 20% of CPG firms currently
operate mostly automated warehouses, with very few
reporting full automation.
According to another PMMI report, the lack of available
labor was identified as the most immediate challenge in 2022.
Some companies faced the choice of automating production
lines or halting production altogether. Recognizing the need
for flexibility, CPG firms are increasingly opting for a strategic
and adaptable approach to automation.
PMMI also identified that many CPG warehouses are still
highly manual and often operating from outdated buildings
with unsuitable layouts, causing bottlenecks.
Cimcorp North America, Grimsby, Ontario, helps
companies optimize material flows and has developed
robotic solutions for order fulfillment and storage for food
and beverage companies. Such suppliers recognize that dairy
processors are fighting an ongoing battle when it comes to the
industry's available workforce.
" The labor shortage issue in the US warehousing
industry is exacerbated in the dairy industry, as many dairy
warehouses are operating six days per week and at least
two shifts a day, " said Derek Rickard, director of sales,
Cimcorp. " Finding labor to work non-regular hours in a
cooler environment is extremely challenging. To add to that a
relatively fresh product like dairy goods, delivery turnaround
times are short, which means warehouses need consistency,
traceability and order accuracy. "
As a global system integrator, Cimcorp improves its
customers' profitability by offering solutions for automation
that run with easy-to-use software and are backed by lifetime
services that ensure success.
" Automated equipment like conveyors and robotics can
take control of the product, starting from the exit of the filling
lines, and track and trace the product all the way through
storage, picking, palletising, labeling and trailer loading, "
Rickard said.
