What is Filmeuse+ Simplified Financial Aid for SMEs?

36,926 new MSDs compensated, 8.4 million working days lost, 787 million euros in costs covered by company contributions: a terrible record! …especially for small structures where each individual counts. Financial aid valid until 31 December 2018 to reduce MSDs in the warehouse exists. What does it consist of?

What are the conditions of the Filmeuse+ aid for VSEs/SMEs?

Mechanising palletising means reducing the number one source of sick leave in the warehouse!

The Filmeuse+ simplified financial aid (or AFS) is a financial aid for the purchase of a wrapping machine
The Filmeuse+ aid amounts to 50% of the investment amount!
The AFS Filmeuse+ is limited to €25,000 excluding tax
The Filmeuse+ aid is dedicated to VSEs/SMEs, companies with less than 50 employees.
The aid applies to turntable filming machines and rotating arm filming machines – robotic wrapping machines are excluded.

example: a company with 35 employees purchasing a manual brake turntable wrapping machine will receive €1797 in aid! The Filmeuse+ aid will amount to €9497 for a programmable industrial wrapping machine with a rotating arm, gripper, cutter and welder!

In addition to the aid for the purchase of the wrapping machine

, companies can benefit from an option

a study of the workstation;
supply and exit conveyors for the wrapping line.

these two options are cumulative and subject to having purchased the main equipment

In order to benefit from this, you must: purchase equipment that complies with French and European manufacturing standards and is equipped with safety devices to avoid any risk of being pinched by the rollers [which is obviously the case for all the solutions offered by RAJA]
To have planned equipment to secure the work area, allowing to keep the man away from the machine (access ramps, enclosures, protection grids, body guards, light curtains, remote control panels, scanners, etc.) See our barriers, studs and signs for warehouses in order to secure the area efficiently without breaking the bank.
