In this era of lean and green supply chains, distribution experts are especially focusing on cost savings and sustainable behavior. More than ever are deeply researching energy requirements in order to better plan material-handling systems, as well as include those results in their cost justification and net carbon footprint.
In an effort to help facilitate the process, HK Systems has developed "Lean, Green Supply Chains: An Energy Consumption Calculator for Material-Handling Systems" for your free download. The company believes that the calculator can ease expected energy requirement calculations when considering new material-handling system designs.
