Client Challenge
One of the largest flour mills in the Philippines was facing a significant operational challenge. The mill's extensive use of large, heavy pallets (1200/14001000145mm, 30kg) required a substantial amount of manual labor and time for cleaning. The hot and humid climate of Manila, with temperatures reaching 40°C, made the task even more arduous for workers. The mill sought a more efficient and automated solution to streamline the pallet cleaning process.
