The Solution

"It used to be a job for muscle men only. Now anyone can do it"


- Josephine Rogebrant, Operator using Vaculex TP

                  

Solution:
Jysk now uses Vaculex solutions for de-palletizing and order picking to enhance the working environment and improve productivity.

The sick absence has reduced from  between 8 and 9 % to the lowest figure they have ever had of 3 %. Vaculex solutions also allowed personal to work in areas where they earlier could not work due to too many heavy lifts.

All and all Jysk Distribution Center in Nässjö has become a much more attractive working place.




"Because of all the heavy
lifting, this was not an
attractive working environment.
It´s a big difference now!"


- Michael Edh, Production Manager
