Taking out the trash!

This May, CHC gave back to our Elkridge community by volunteering with the Patapsco Valley Heritage Area to pick up rubbish around the Elkridge Furnace Inn & Deep Run.

With the crew hard at work, CHC managed to remove over 300lbs of trash and debris! We'd like to thank all who participated and our friends at PHG for coordinating the event.

ℹ️Manual pallet wrapping can be slow, inconsistent, and physically demanding, especially when pallet volume is at a high level

An automated stretch wrapper dramatically cuts pallet processing ops by applying film with a rising application arm that circles the pallet with wrap. These are typically connected with infeed/outfeeding conveyor so pallets can continue on the line, or towards a staging zone for forklift pickup.

Industry estimates show automatic stretch wrappers can reduce wrapping time by 70–80% compared to manual methods, and machine pre-stretch systems can cut film usage by 30–50% versus hand wrapping.

For many operations, stretch wrapping is a practical integration that can improve throughput with a relatively simplistic deployment

CHC can help make pallet wrapping work as part of the larger material handling system or as a standalone solution. Contact us and talk with a system engineer.

📚☑️Another system in the books!

This order fulfillment line at a distribution center was recently finished and is now a vital part of daily processing.

Open cartons and conveyed to a workstation where an associate packs dunnage to secure the order and sends along to be sealed and adhered with a shipping label. The completed cartons are then sent towards a sorter for routing to its destination line.

Order fulfillment can be a complex challenge for any warehouse to streamline. CHC can engineer GTP and fulfillment automation systems that mesh seamlessly with your current product and processing setup.

Willkommen! 🇩🇪✈️
Tom, Walt, and Sam from the CHC team took a trip abroad to Germany to perform a site-visit for a project at a US Army depot facility.

CHC has experience implementing systems in both government and federal environments and has completed a number of international projects. These projects are unlike the common system, as mission-critical movement, specialized handling, and stringent guidelines must be met

Our capability to serve all types of customers comes from over 50 years of industry knowledge, problem-solving engineering, and a complete understanding of the unique process and operation a government system requires.

Advancing this distribution center project towards the finish line! 🏁

CHC is adding the final touches to an order fulfillment and shipping conveyor system that spans across transportation, sortation, controls, GTP, workstations, and print & apply.

The main focus during this install stage was on installing the conveyor guarding and safety equipment. The next step is tying up any remaining wiring and component assembly, then it's off to the races with testing and validation.

CHC has decades of experience in engineering each and every zone of a system. A distribution project similar to this requires precise project management and an integrator with the capability to make everything come together the way it needs to.
CHC is that "all-in-one" solution to your automation requirements.

Alexandro from NūMove Robotique & Vision made the trek down from Canada to present their innovative robotic arm handling solutions to the CHC crew.

From robotic assembly and machine tending to palletizing, packaging, and custom automation cells; NuMove provides a series of unique solutions that area ideal in operations that fulfill mixed-case pallets (such as beverage processing).

As customer needs become more complex and precise to the facility, product, and goals, solutions like the equipment NuMove provides are a valuable part of the automation landscape.

Visits like this help our team stay on top of innovative setups from our partners and evaluate where these solutions can deliver the most value for our customers.

A big thank you to Alexandro and the NuMove team for sharing!

🪧 🟨 Not every warehouse project takes the form of a large automation overhaul.

For Bogg Bag’s NJ facility, CHC recommended a more organized bulk storage environment through a cost-effective striping and signage solution.

The project included 8,000 linear feet of industrial-grade floor striping, overhead barcode/SKU signage, and clearly defined pallet lanes, aisles, and storage zones, resulting in 5,585 total pallet positions.

The result: faster putaway, easier retrieval, fewer misplaced pallets, improved traffic flow, and better use of floor space.

CHC has the experience to deliver large-scale automated material handling and storage solutions, but that doesn't mean our capabilities stop there. Each and every project varies greatly, and this project is an example of how CHC can scale to your specifications and deliver a solution that remains cost-effective yet provides significant efficiency benefits.

The H.H. Barnum Company stopped by the CHC office with their mobile automation trailer, inviting in our controls end engineering team to display a hands-on look at a wide range of automation components and systems.

The controls team regularly researches and purchases components from H.H. Barnum, so having the mobile factory on-site was a great opportunity to see products in action, ask questions, engage with the solutions, and talk through real-world applications.

For CHC, staying up to date on the latest controls, sensing, safety, and automation technologies is an important part of building reliable systems for our customers. Visits like this help our team continue evaluating the right components for the right applications.

A big thank you to the H.H. Barnum team for taking the time to visit and share their expertise with us!

The right racking or shelving system should fit your product handled, usable space, and picking/putaway process. 🚧💡

From pallet flow rack and carton flow rack to selective rack, push-back rack, cantilever rack, and static shelving, each option serves a different purpose.

Racking is a very common integration within a system project. CHC evaluates your facility, product flow, and storage needs to implement the most beneficial equipment for your operation.

A better storage setup starts with the picking the right integrator.
Read more on the types of racking and shelving CHC implements in our systems.
