Medical Manufacturing and Federal Government Tax Incentives

The federal government has made tax incentives accessible for the remainder of 2009 to assist companies with the implementation of simple automation into new or existing facilities during these economic times. These tax incentives will have a positive impact on many organizations purchasing automated carousels and VLMs allowing for increased write off ability while providing increased efficiencies and a high internal rate of return.

The tax incentives are ideal for the integration of automated storage and retrieval systems, such as vertical and horizontal carousels and Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) for most facilities storage and retrieval requirements.  This automation can save up to 85% floor space, improve accuracy to 99%, reduce man power requirements up to 2/3 and produces a faster Return on Investment (ROI). The new provisions of the 2009 tax year provide the potential, for companies, the one-year 50% bonus depreciation provides the ability to write off in 2009 a extra 50% of the cost of new equipment that is purchased and used in 2009.
