Silver Cell Robotic System

One of the things that we liked about RMH was the one-stop shop. You know, we tell a joke here, you know, most people buy a robot, we bought seven. We didn't really know what we were getting into. So, with the partnership that we have with RMH, we could go to those guys, we have a relationship with them, we trust them, and it was just a one-stop shop from the design, the engineering, and the manufacturing. My name is Todd McClung, and I'm the Special Projects Manager here at Lightrope. The system has been great. We've already seen some benefits. We've been able to be a stronger force in the marketplace. We've been able to reduce our lead times. Our shipping has went up a little bit as well. It's just been a great resource for us. Here at Hytro, we've been blessed with business. We've seen our business grow over the last three or four years. One of the current issues that we have, we live in a county where our unemployment rate is below 3%. So, it's a struggle trying to go out and find new employees. Part of the way that we wanted to attack that is with automation. Hi, my name is Will St. Pierre, and I'm an Automation Controls Technician here at Hytro Conveyor Company. Since the system went live, we've actually been able to take on larger workloads and be able to do those in a safer manner than before. It took a team of about 19 people to do these parts. Now, we're doing it with about two or three people and getting more out the door. So, it's helped our turnaround or throughput tremendously. So, Hytro is all about building relationships. We've had such a long relationship with RMH. Those guys have been partners with us for a long time. They were trusted. We knew we could go to them and get what we wanted. The experience overall has just been great.
