Case Study
SHEARER’S FOODS
“We implemented robotics on the tortilla side of the plant. About 20 baggers feed that system so we have four robots that palletize for all those. Kawasaki made it possible for us to redeploy 46 people in the plant. And at the time we had two lines sitting idle. We were able to start those lines up. We took the plant from a $1.85 million plant to a $2.2 million plant, with a million-dollar savings in wages over the year as well.”
