[QUOTE="PTer4Ever, post: 502005, member: 11992"] I'm a SPA person in our building and we've been hearing tidbits about this device for a few weeks now. I'm all for "green" and cutting costs, but I have my doubts about how effective this thing will be. I work on a belt with another employee on the other side of me. We each have a dedicated scanner and printer. There are 10 stations in all, but because volume is so low we only run 6-7 on a given morning. I start a bit earlier than the rest, and I know that when I turn my belt on I get crushed. This is due to the unloaders pushing boxes up a stopped belt until I get in to turn it on. I spend the first 30 minutes of my morning getting killed and shutting the belt off to break jams. This is only going to make it worse. I don't see how I can reach across a huge box to grab, scan, and roll on a label in a timely fashion with a mecha-arm. This could work in our building, but there is going to have to be cooperation among the SPA clerks, sorters, and mainly the unload to curb the flow. We've been trying to get them to understand that if they keep a nice steady flow that it prevents damages from jams and makes everyone's job a lot smoother. There's no point in getting crushed for a half hour and then see 10 pieces a minute thereafter. FWIW, our area averages about 2-3 out of syncs a week. I've had only 1 since I started. I don't know if that's good or bad. On another note, how are we supposed to handle send-agains? We can't just stick a new label over the old one now...that alone could lead to more problems unless the loaders are super careful. [/QUOTE]
