Solution 03
Packaging & end-of-line
End-of-line areas often accumulate micro-stops, handling and low-value tasks. Targeted automation can improve robustness without rebuilding the entire line.
When this solution makes sense
Signals we look for on site.
- Recurring accumulation and jams
- Manual case packing or transfer
- Unsynchronised labelling or marking
- Multiple formats or references
- Palletising or dispatch preparation
Typical scope
What the project can include.
01. Flow and bottleneck analysis
02. Conveying, accumulation and transfer
03. Labelling, inspection and marking
04. Case packing, closing and orientation
05. Simple palletising or operator assistance
06. Upstream / downstream synchronisation
Priority is stable flow and easy operation: access, changeovers, cleaning, maintenance and manual recovery are considered in the concept.
Method
Validate before adding complexity.
Technology choices come after the need, constraints and acceptance criteria are clear.
