Improving Material Handling:
The Benefits of Smart Electric Tugs
Welcome to another edition of the Lean Factory America newsletter. This month we are taking an in depth look at the Movexx product line of compact push/pull assists and tuggers. We will introduce new products, new corporate branding, industry interviews and trends, and upcoming trade shows featuring the Movexx products. Our smart electric tugs help improve material handling and logistics processes within your organization. Here are the benefits:

  1. You reduce wasted time - A smart electric tug optimizes the flow of goods in your warehouse. Increased safety and efficiency reduces costs for damage and wasted time.
  2. You prevent physical overload - Overloading stands in the way of safe and healthy work and can lead to health problems, absenteeism and even disability. A recent publication by Evofenedex indicates that nearly 40% of the number of days of absence is directly related to overwork. Using our electric tugs, your employees will move large and small loads with great ease. Your absenteeism due to overwork will drop dramatically. Another great benefit is that less stressful work brings more energy and enjoyment to your employees.
  3. Your staff shortage is no longer a problem - Our automated guided vehicles follow a planned route completely autonomously. These AGV’s take over logistical tasks from your employees regarding horizontal material movements on wheels.
  4. Your processes are optimally designed - By moving multiple carts at the same time, you increase process efficiency. By bundling movements, you gain insight into which processes are working and which are not.

Industry Interview
"There are several trends in today’s work environment including going forklift-free, an aging workforce and fewer available associates. No longer can companies rely on ‘the big, strong person’ to do the task at hand. I personally witnessed how smart electric tugs 'normalize' the work for individuals of varying strength"

Kurt Greissinger, Vice President of Lean Factory America (LFA) in the United States, elaborates on why in particular the smart electric tugs are an indispensable item in their product range.
