Cimcorp E-book highlights safety and efficiency benefits of tire automation

Alpharetta, GA – Cimcorp has released a new e-book to help tire manufacturers design safer, more efficient operations. “Treading Safely: How Automation Enhances Workplace Safety in Tire Manufacturing” examines key safety challenges in traditional production environments and offers practical guidance for operations leaders seeking resilient, high-performing tire plants.

Tire manufacturing is one of the most demanding industrial sectors. In facilities that rely on manual tire handling, employees face strenuous and repetitive tasks that require close interaction with hazardous materials and machinery. As tire producers seek to boost output, employees are under pressure to work harder and faster, which heightens the risk of safety incidents and workplace injuries. Automation is emerging as a way to reduce these hazards, standardize processes, and maintain high production performance, even as demand increases.

Readers of Cimcorp’s e-book will learn how advanced tire-handling automation solutions:
Reduce strenuous manual handling and worker fatigue
Limit exposure to hazardous machinery and materials
Standardize safety protocols and minimize human error across operations
Support technology-enabled roles that improve workplace satisfaction

“People are the most important asset in tire manufacturing,” said Don Heelis, Global Tire Sales Manager, Cimcorp. “Automation can help manufacturers create operations where safety and productivity go hand in hand, enabling teams to focus on high-value, skilled work while processes run reliably.”

The e-book also explains how modular automation systems make these benefits accessible to both greenfield and brownfield plants. Comprising independent automation modules, these flexible solutions can be configured to fit any factory layout, enabling tire makers to modernize existing facilities and design safety-first environments for new ones.
