LaborSave, the world’s first automatic solution for sack cutting and emptying, was born out of a root cause analysis exercise at a plastics factory looking to cut back on employee costs. Noticing how ineffective and time consuming the manual process of opening and emptying heavy sacks can be, LaborSave’s founders developed a solution that automatically cuts multiple bags at once and empties the contents into the hopper; completely removing the need for employees to lift, cut or empty the sacks, while reducing the risk of contamination.
The factory, in which LaborSave was first installed, quickly
realized there were now significantly less instances of machine downtime, fewer
employee injuries, greater workflow efficiency, dramatic saving on material
loss, and a better use of raw materials.
More than 18 years later, nearly 1,000 systems installed all around the world, prove what a “sack-cess” story LaborSave is.

An Italian subsidiary of the world’s largest provider of polyolefins uses multiple raw materials and wants to avoid material contamination in its material handling systems.
When ordering the LaborSave automatic bag slitting machine, the company asked that no granules remained in the stainless steel #hopper of our automatic bag opening and emptying system. The requirement was addressed by LaborSave’s engineers, who added several components and adjusted the hopper’s gradients.
Once installed and commissioned it was clear the ‘no grains’ requirement was fully met by the LaborSave system. Only then the customer asked that no dust remain either.
After brainstorming ideas with the customer’s technical staff, LaborSave’s CTO came up with a Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT) solution. Using LaborSave’s existing hardware and software resources, the customer achieved zero residue between uploading and handling one raw material to the next.

LaborSave’s sales skyrocketed shortly after Covid-19 hit the world. Want to know why?
Because many plant managers were quick to realize they needed to get creative when dealing with the virus’ adverse effects on the business’ financials and the compromised safety of their employees.
LaborSave successfully met their requirements on both accounts and then some.
With a capacity of up to 1300 bags per hour at more than 99.99% emptying rate, and in addition to its many other benefits, the fully automatic bag machine dramatically improves performance efficiency and the derivative cost structure and profit margins. It also ensures the safety of employees as it automates the labor intensive, close contact, task of manually opening and emptying raw material bags. And ... LaborSave is IoT-enabled, so emptying station information is displayed on any connected device.
The LaborSave production facility is already working at 150% capacity, so we have full confidence it can handle a few more orders …
Our 120 sqm booth at K-2019 featured a working LaborSave system in all its glory.
We had numerous appointments scheduled for the show. We also had many unscheduled walk-ins. Some of which ended up being cold sales to customers who were so impressed by what they saw, they simply had to seal the deal.
One of these random walk-ins was the CEO of a German extruded piping company, who used manual labor for opening and emptying their raw material bags. Excited by the LaborSave system at work, the CEO immediately invited the rest of his team to join him. It took an hour of demonstrating and explaining the LaborSave features, before the CEO decided he had to switch to fully automatic sack opening and emptying system. He scribbled the deal’s details on a piece of paper he tore from his notebook and transferred down payment on the spot.
The owner of a blown film factory from the Dominican Republic was another unplanned visitor. Impressed by the ingenious system and the huge cost savings opportunity on both labor and raw material waste, she used her napkin to write down and sign the deal. Down payment was transferred, yet again, the same day, as she wanted the system ASAP.
They say “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Seeing a LaborSave system at work is worth much more …
Semi-automatic bag “slitters” and “blenders” are … semi-efficient, at most.
These expensive material handling solutions typically require manual feeding of raw material bags, pose high contamination risk, and have limited throughput and large and ever-increasing rate of raw material loss.
The fully automated LaborSave has set a new standard for bag opening and emptying, offering a best-in-class solution in all aspects imaginable.

A vetted approach to tackling unanticipated expenses associated with events occurring on the production floor is benchmarking against past events.
Once a list of such direct and indirect expenses has been formed, it is time to use root cause analysis to determine the underlying reason for the occurrence of past events and derivative expenses. According to Wikipedia, root cause analysis is a method of problem solving that tries to identify the root causes of faults or problems. A root cause is a cause that once removed from the problem fault sequence, prevents the final undesirable event from recurring.
We’ll use a hypothetical case of employee injury to demonstrate the root cause analysis technique.
When investigating the injury, the company that employed the employee, determines that working a double shift was the reason for the employee’s exhaustion and resulting injury. Root cause analysis mandates that the company would then consider the question why the double shift was necessary in the first place. Reverse-checking the causes per step of the occurrence, the analysis could end with the conclusion that use of manuals for training new employees was required – see image for a detailed visualization of the hypothetical case analysis.
Use of the root cause technique not only systematically prevents the recurrence of unwanted events, but in most cases uncovers underlying predicaments, allowing the company to tackle these too in advance. In fact, the benefits of resolving the root cause are typically greater than the value generated by merely mending the supposedly obvious problem, which led to the incident being analyzed.
To finish off using the aforementioned example: if the company whose employee has been injured used root cause analysis, and as a result implemented user manuals in the factory floor, it could gain any number of benefits, including –
1. Less time training new employees; lower cost of recruitment; and possibly greater confidence among new employees to take on additional tasks.
2. Easier ISO approval, and the opportunity to participate in additional tenders.
Ayal Robotics and Engineering Ltd. roots for root cause analysis, and pride itself in offering LaborSave, a principal material handling solution that resolves many key challenges of factories using granules or powder raw material bags.
When comparing manual vs. automatic sack emptying, businesses are increasingly finding that automation is a powerful solution to the challenges posed by labor-intensive manual processes. Manual emptying, which involves workers cutting open and handling raw material bags by hand, not only risks employee injury but also introduces inefficiencies, worker shortage and material waste. Manual processes are very often limited by workforce availability, with performance easily impacted by fatigue and turnover.
In contrast, an automatic sack emptying system like LaborSave eliminates many of these issues. With a capacity of up to 1,300 bags per hour and a 99.99% emptying rate, LaborSave’s automated solution has rapidly gained traction as businesses seek safer and more efficient alternatives. Automating sack emptying reduces raw material loss, minimizes labor costs, and enhances production speed, helping companies to achieve ROI in under six months. This efficiency also reduces risks associated with workforce shortages and helps companies address safety concerns—key factors that have led to a post-COVID increase in automation demand.
An automated system further contributes to operational safety. LaborSave’s systems, for example, are equipped with safety sensors, enclosed designs, and rigorous international certifications such as CE, UL, and TÜV. The system automates the labor-intensive task of opening and emptying sacks, creating a safer workplace while also reducing contamination risks.
Moreover, automated systems like LaborSave are IoT-enabled, allowing plant managers to monitor performance and access valuable data remotely. In a time when efficiency, safety, and data-driven decisions are more crucial than ever, automation in sack emptying proves itself as a smart, forward-thinking investment.
For those seeking to stay competitive, the choice between manual vs. automatic sack emptying is clear: automation delivers unmatched productivity, safety, and cost-saving potential.
