Balancer Wyman: Case Study in Food Factories - Reducing Strain on Arms, Shoulders, and Lower Back

Carrying a 30kg bag of sugar by two people was done 200 times in half a day! By introducing the balancer "Wyman," the number of workers was reduced to one, alleviating the burden on the back and other areas.

At the food manufacturer, they were repeating transportation tasks for about 200 times in a half-day concentrated effort, involving the movement of 30kg sugar bags. The transportation work was done by moving them onto pallets with two people working together. Since two people were required for the transportation tasks, it took up manpower, making it impossible to carry out other tasks during that time, resulting in poor work efficiency. Additionally, this was a physically demanding task, and with the high volume of transportation needed daily, it placed a significant burden on the employees, leading to a desire to reduce this strain. ■ Solution and Effects To address the issues, we proposed our Balancer Wyman "MY-BS-105." We adopted a vacuum suction attachment to enable the transportation of 30kg sugar bags without physical strain on the body. We also designed it as a cart that allows for fine adjustments in position within the factory. As a result, the physical burden on employees was reduced, and they were able to perform the tasks alone, leading to improved work efficiency. *For more details, please contact us or download the PDF.
