Handle multiple cardboard-box and product sizes on one production line with automatic changeover while meeting defined operating constraints.
Automated gripper and conveyor adjustments enable transitions between product and box variants, with integrated stacking of packaged products onto pallets.
Cycle time reduced from 35 to 28 seconds, automated changeovers and a production-line staffing reduction of three operators.
Production context, equipment design, scope of delivery and verified customer value.
The customer needed one production line capable of handling multiple cardboard-box and product sizes, with products varying in height and width.
The line therefore had to change automatically between variants while meeting defined operating constraints, including the maximum product weight.
DIS Systems developed an automated packing line with automatic adjustment of the gripper and conveyor systems so the equipment could transition between different cardboard-box and product dimensions.
The line also integrated stacking of packaged products onto pallets.
