Project Description

Food Manufacturer Increases Throughput by 35% with Conveyor Automation

Home/Automation, Case Study, Conveyor/Food Manufacturer Increases Throughput by 35% with Conveyor Automation

Customer Problem

Customer hand palletized six production lines at their facility for many years. They needed to increase throughput to support their growing customer base and decided to automate all lines. With a large plant, and production lines in different areas of the plant, long runs of accumulation conveyor automation were needed to manage production of the six lines feeding the robotic palletizing cell.
