Perfect discussion to start with. As a current manager in a manufacturing facility, being able to upgrade the way many of the things we do within the plant would help save money. Being able to get a scanner and barcode system that automatically puts in or takes out inventory would save money. This is a bottleneck as some of the products that we store technically aren’t ours until we order them. This would only save minutes on the day-to-day, but if you take those minutes and expand them into weeks, months, to years, the savings would be outstanding. If we used technology to automate some of our other equipment this would also be a savings. An investment to start but with the current issues with getting employees and down time this technology would pay for itself in no time.
