    A recent press release in Engineering News Today highlights how TriFactor’s engineering analysis process resulted in an optimal material handling solution for Buckhead Beef, a member of Sysco Corp’s family of companies.
    Achieving the rank of #1 provider of Certified Angus Beef nine years in a row has been accomplished by Buckhead Beef.  The reason why is simple: quality products at low prices. Add a touch of customer service results in a growing company with demand exceeding capacity.
    To accommodate the requirement to increase capacity to meet current and future production demand in its Auburndale FL facility, Buckhead Beef commissioned TriFactor Systems to provide various boxed beef conveyor system and sorting concepts with associated budget pricing for consideration and feedback from all stakeholders.
    Once the operations, information technology, and management groups agreed on a concept, TriFactor further detailed the final system with technical and performance specifications and system pricing. TriFactor and Buckhead Beef collaboratively calculated the return on investment, which proved satisfactory. The companies are now partnered to provide and install an automated material handling system.
    TriFactor is a Florida-licensed professional engineering firm that specializes in material handling systems design. Its trained engineers have years of experience in supply chain logistics and stay abreast of material handling trends and technologies.
