In the 1989 movie “Dead Poets Society” students at the all-male Welton Academy are surprised on the first day of classes by the new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), as he encourages his students to “make your lives extraordinary,” a sentiment he summarizes with the Latin expression carpe diem, meaning “seize the day.” As the pandemic has had unforeseen impacts on the beverage industry, experts note that advanced palletizing systems have helped warehouse operations “seize the day” while bringing returns on investment (ROI).
“Depalletizing can be one of the toughest jobs within the warehouse, but thanks to the advancement of robotics and conventional palletizing, the role best played is to help alleviate human-prone injury and redundant movement,” says Keith Fisher, president of Honeywell Intelligrated, Mason, Ohio.
