00:00We're here at Elders Ravenhall facility which we've just ticked over 270,000 bales over the past 12 months.
00:07Over here we've got the receivables coming in where we apply a QR code to get traceability
00:14throughout the centre. We've got the call lines operating here which are processing up 1600 bales
00:20per day. We can store up to 60,000 bales in racking where they're then processed through overnight.
00:29We've got 22 of the robots here at Ravenhall. They handle our wool. They're a massive investment.
00:34Each one's worth just over half a million dollars but you know the payback compared to a conventional
00:41forklift driver and his forklift at on cost, payback's something like four and a half years.
00:46Our AGVs we expect to figure up to 15 years life out of them. They're incredible. They run for 24
00:52hours and they only cost 12 or 13 cents an hour to run. They charge themselves every hour. They
00:57duck in automatically and they've been working all night. They're unbelievable.
