anchor Description
This project is intended to upgrade the current conveyor system in the Alcohol Beverage Services (ABS) warehouse to improve efficiency, accuracy, and employee health and safety. The upgraded system would automate the checking process to confirm accurate picking and selection of products, which will allow for continuous flow before orders are loaded on up to six trucks at a time for delivery versus its current maximum of three trucks. The new system will also establish the ability to create hybrid routes in the future which would allow ABS to combine all three available product lines (liquor/wine, beer, and kegs).

The upgrade will take place over approximately weeks during
anchor Justification
The current conveyor system's design, which was not built for beer, liquor, and wine distribution, has been in use since ABS acquired the warehouse in The limitations of the current conveyor system include frequent repairs and maintenance to restore the system in response to stoppages, backups, and product damage. ABS is limited in its efficiency due to the conveyor system design and how trucks are loaded.
