    ADDRESSING THE 8 WASTES: CUT EXTRA PROCESSING Is extra processing wasting your resources and time? SlipBots streamline operations, reducing the need for additional processing steps. WASTE #8 | EXTRA PROCESSING Extra processing involves performing more work or achieving higher quality than required, leading to inefficiencies. The traditional loading/unloading process involves forklift operators staging pallets and scanning to staging lanes, supervisors manually rescanning each pallet for the manifest, and multiple loading and unloading steps, resulting in several hours of extra processing. ADDING VALUE WITH SLIP SlipBots streamline the loading/unloading process by reducing the number of steps involved. Acting as mobile staging lanes, they minimize the steps to load trucks and automate data capture, eliminating the need for supervisors to rescan each pallet manually. This reduces repetitive tasks and enhances operational efficiency. A distribution center traditionally requires manual data entry and paperwork for each incoming and outgoing shipment. With SlipBots, simply creating a location in the ERP or WMS for the bots allows for automated data capture by forklift operators scanning products to that location upon drop off—no complex integration required. This reduces the number of scans per shipment from 30 to 3, capturing all associated products virtually and physically. This drastically cuts process time and reduces the risk of error. Minimize extra processing with SlipBots. Learn more at sliprobotics.com. #Robotics #WarehouseAutomation #LeanManufacturing #SupplyChain #Logistics

    ADDRESSING THE 8 WASTES: MINIMIZING MOTION Are unnecessary movements wasting effort and reducing efficiency in your operations? SlipBots automate the load/unload processes, reducing forklift operator labor and unnecessary movement. WASTE #7 | MOTION Motion waste involves unnecessary movements by people or equipment, leading to inefficiencies and increased risk of injury. The loading dock is full of motion waste with forklift operators repeatedly moving in and out of trailers, often making 30 trips to load/unload a single truck. This inefficiency leads to reduced productivity, bottlenecked docks, and increased worker fatigue and risk of injury. ADDING VALUE WITH SLIP SlipBots eliminate motion waste by automating the loading and unloading process. In traditional setups, forklift operators make around 30 trips in and out of trailers to load a single truck. SlipBots reduce this to just 3 automated movements. This 90% reduction in unnecessary movement also eliminates the need for operators to enter trailers, cutting down on worker fatigue, enhancing safety, and boosting productivity. Eliminate unnecessary motion with SlipBots. Learn more at sliprobotics.com. #Robotics #WarehouseAutomation #LeanManufacturing #SupplyChain #Logistics

    ADDRESSING THE 8 WASTES: REDUCING INVENTORY Is excess inventory tying up your resources and space? Reducing unnecessary inventory is crucial for lean manufacturing. SlipBots streamline processes and reduce the need for excessive inventory. WASTE #6 | INVENTORY Inventory waste results from excess products and materials that aren’t processed, leading to higher carrying costs and potential obsolescence. At the dock, the status quo is 25+ minutes to load and 25+ minutes to unload, and often longer. This drives up the total warehouse-to-plant delivery lead time and variance, which causes the manufacturing plant to hold extra safety buffer stock inside the plant. ADDING VALUE WITH SLIP SlipBots help reduce inventory levels by streamlining the loading and unloading process. They increase Just-In-Time (JIT) capabilities by increasing the load and unload process speed by >80% (to a consistent 5 minutes), which cuts delivery lead time and variance. For example, one Slip customer – an automotive manufacturer – shuttling inbound freight from the warehouse to the manufacturing plant was able to decrease line-side storage due to faster, more consistent delivery lead times. On average, SlipBots cut the average time between picking an item in the warehouse and delivering it inside the plant by 50%. Decreasing line-side buffer storage allowed for more space to expand production and increase overall productivity and throughput of the facility. Reduce excess inventory with SlipBots.

    ADDRESSING THE 8 WASTES: OPTIMIZING TRANSPORT Is unnecessary freight movement and double-touching causing delays and increasing costs in your operations? Reducing unnecessary transport is vital to lean manufacturing. SlipBots save time and resources by streamlining processes to reduce unnecessary movement. WASTE #5 | TRANSPORT Transport waste involves unnecessary movement of materials and products, leading to increased costs and delays. At the dock, this can occur when goods are transported to staging lanes with forklifts, and then later “double-touched” by moving goods again with forklifts from the staging lanes into trucks. This increases handling time and the risk of damage. ADDING VALUE WITH SLIP SlipBots become the mobile staging lane and reduce the number of movements that need to be made by forklifts. This reduction in forklift transport and the automation of loading/unloading to five minutes also reduces fuel consumption, reduces overall transit times, and minimizes the risk of damage. Manufacturers also use SlipBots to load finished products onto trailers for delivery to distribution centers. By reducing loading times from 45 minutes to just 5 minutes per trailer, they significantly reduce the number of trucks and trailers needed, saving on labor and fuel costs.

    ADDRESSING THE 8 WASTES: UNLOCKING TALENT Is your team’s potential being underutilized at the dock? Effective utilization of your workforce is key to lean manufacturing. SlipBots help free up valuable human resources by automating repetitive tasks and allowing your team to focus on higher-value activities. WASTE #4 | NON-UTILIZED TALENT Non-utilized talent occurs when employees' skills, creativity, and knowledge are not fully leveraged, leading to missed opportunities for improvement.  At the dock, this can happen when skilled workers are tied up with the long process of manually loading and unloading trailers with a forklift instead of focusing on more strategic activities that could enhance productivity. ADDING VALUE WITH SLIP SlipBots free up valuable human resources by streamlining and simplifying the loading and unloading process, allowing companies to unlock their skilled workforce to focus on higher-value tasks such as quality control and inventory management. Manufacturers use SlipBots to handle the work of loading and unloading trailers, enabling their workforce to focus on quality inspections, inventory accuracy checks, and other high-value tasks. This shift in focus helps to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence, while also increasing job satisfaction by enabling employees to utilize their skills and expertise more effectively.
