Logistics specialist Paris Brothers in Kansas-City is using a Copal Handling Systems automated container unloading system in their new coffee roasting plant to unload jute bags with coffee beans, since a few weeks now.
Just like other logistics companies, Paris Brothers also has to cope with the shortage on the labor market. Especially since the unloading of coffee beans containers is hard physical work, Paris Brothers attaches great importance to automating this part of the logistics process. A Copal machine takes over the heavy work and thus guarantee an efficient, constant and reliable unloading process. The loose loaded jute coffee bags will be palletized, after which they will be stored in the warehouse for further processing.
The company Paris Brothers was founded in 1983. Warehousing, distribution and full 3PL services are their core services. In 2005, they launched specialized services in the specialty coffee segment, opening the nations only OCIA-certified, climate-controlled specialty coffee warehouse facility, with the later additions of manufacturing services for roasting, blending and packaging.
There has always been a focus on innovating to satisfy customer needs, both in service and products, with every significant evolution, resulting in synergy with everything else they do.
