Even with green field sites, it is important to ensure that any necessary transitions are allowed sufficient testing, such as IT systems. Project management teams are essential for both the user and the carousel vendor. To minimize disruption to existing operations, the customer and integrating company should come to a mutual understanding regarding policies and procedures that are to be followed throughout the installation. Maintenance is limited to lubrication and periodic inspection of important components, neither of which are time-intensive tasks. Typically, these components are highlighted during the training that occurs at the end of an installation, before the system is handed over completely to the end-user.
Horizontal carousels are relatively simple machines and are known for great reliability.
The importance of operator training in the overall installation process cannot be overstated. With most suppliers, training is standard. Manuals are also supplied as standard for reference purposes. Because the installation of a horizontal carousel case picking system will substantially change the operation of your business, there is much to consider when choosing a vendor. Choosing a vendor who is familiar with the particular issues you will face as your system is installed is important.
