Production line layouts post Covid-19

In the current pandemic, most businesses will have found themselves challenged to ensure that their employees are kept safe from the virus while carrying out their daily duties. Amongst these, are food and drink manufacturers.

Factories, in particular, will have faced significant challenges over the past three months, reliant on specialised labour, where efficiency is maximised by one individual focussing on distinct production-related activities.

Automation of manual processes?

Alternative line layouts? (especially for manual processes)

PPE?

Changes to shift arrangements and starting times?
