5 Rocketfarmers share their thoughts about automating palletizing

Embracing change can feel like stepping into the unknown.

We humans are creatures of habit, finding comfort in our routines. So, when it comes to introducing something new, especially with uncertain outcomes, it’s natural to feel a bit hesitant. Convincing production managers to embrace automated palletizing solutions is no exception. It means shaking up familiar processes, and that can be scary.

We, the people in Rocketfarm, understand this skepticism. Why fix something that isn’t broken, right?

Upgrade for the better

But here’s the thing: sometimes, even the well-oiled machine needs an upgrade – making tasks more efficient, freeing up valuable time, and taking care of human employees, for example.

So, according to some of our employees, why should you automate your palletizing?

Read on to discover five different answers from five different people with distinct roles in Rocketfarm. We hope their responses will help you make a well-informed decision about whether or not to automate.

First answer:

“From an HR standpoint, I believe it’s crucial to spare employees from repetitive and monotonous tasks that can wear them down and dampen their motivation. By reallocating these tasks, you can most definitely offer more engaging responsibilities, fostering higher motivation and commitment. Allow your employees to focus on tasks that add more value to the company and attract individuals eager to work with cutting-edge technology, contributing to the company’s growth and development.“
