114 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 11 about its health policies during the pandemic. The business has benefited from the employment market slump as Timesavers’ products are all about automation. When companies can’t find new employees to fill roles, they turn to automation to keep the lights on. “Hiring individuals for repetitive roles such as sanding has become an issue. So, with the introduction of automated machinery to optimize production, Timesavers is replacing hands with machines when there aren’t available hands for the jobs,” says Fischmann. Timesavers assists their clients to continue growing in a market where employees are scarce. This means there is a demand for sophisticated equipment to replace skilled individuals. Automation is a buzzword in many industries, and in the manufacturing sector, it is the same. Timesavers is focusing on providing fixed automation solutions where they’ll automate processes that would take longer by hand, such as sanding kitchen cabinet doors. Recently, the company has decided to also explore more automation processes in material handling solutions and is talking about introducing robotic machinery. This would mean having a fully integrated robotic cell that would take care of deburring, sanding, or grinding. As these advancements are added to the working environment, the connectivity of these machines is essential, as it is the future of factory work. Fischmann elaborates, “The future factory will give users feedback information. Providing them with predictive maintenance updates, so parts can be sourced in time, and production can carry on flawlessly.”
