BUT COMPANIES NEED CONSISTENCY Industrial tasks involve repetitive physical activities that require accuracy at high rates . T his applies to a wide range of industries, including warehouse logistics, manufacturing and assembly, construction, mining, and air/seaports. V ehicles such as tuggers, stock chasers, forklifts, haulers, and various utility vehicles are the tools used to execute these industrial tasks. People are great at handling unpredictable situations and performing tasks requiring creativity . But people get bored, tired, and distracted when given tasks that require repetitive accuracy over an extended time. People make mistakes. IT'S HUMAN NATURE. HUMANS ARE CREATIVE THE PROBLEM: HUMAN ERROR 7
HIGH COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH HUMAN LABOR • 900,000 material handlers, stock pickers, and industrial vehicle drivers in the United States.¹ • Estimated $140 billion spent on human labor across 20,000 warehouses in the US alone.² • Bureau of Labor Statistics: "Employer Costs For Employee Compensation – June 2021" • Statista: “Number of Warehouses in U.S.” • Over 50% of supply chain & manufacturing leaders rated hiring and employee retention as their biggest challenge. • 73% said it takes 30+ days to fill open positions. • B y 2030, the impact of unfilled manufacturing jobs could cost the US economy more than $1 trillion . 3. MHI Deloitte industry report • An industrial vehicle accident, on average, costs $42,000 not including cost due to lost production.⁴ • The average American warehouse experiences 9 accidents per year.⁵ • The total cost of preventable workplace injuries in the US in 2019 was $171 billion. ⁴ 4.
