Mitchell Plastics prioritizes safety with FlexQube eQart

Mitchell Plastics was able to automate their flow of goods through the facility while also creating a safer process. The eQart has ensured that everyone creates an environment so the eQart is able to complete its task. The facility needs the eQart to finish its path and this has led to a few added benefits including a cleaner and safer environment. This is due to the fact that the path cannot be blocked, so operators have needed to ensure that the main route is free of random objects blocking the way leading to a more organized space. It has also eliminated the risk of a tugger driver speeding to get to their next station if they are behind or to dangerously drive off the path if there is something blocking the way.

In the beginning stages of this process, Mitchell Plastics didn’t set out necessarily to get into an automation project. However, after purchasing FlexQube tugger carts they came learnt about the eQart through a FlexQube sales representative. Discussions began about the benefits of combining our tugger carts with our eQart and a project began to take shape. To make the process as easy as possible FlexQube outlined the flexible finance options that were available to all eQart customers. These included short term leasing options which counted back to the purchasing price. This turned automation into reality for Mitchell Plastics implementing the FlexQube eQart.
