Challenge

Fonterra installed a new shredded cheese processing line into their Eltham, due to the rate of the retail packs being produced by the line. Manual packing was not a viable option as the quantity of persons required would have added a large amount of cost to the final product even more of an issue was the risk of repetitive strain injuries that can occur from prolonged exposure to high-speed manual packing.

Solution

The solution for this was a fully integrated two-robot pick and place Top Load Case Packer. The products arrived at up to 110 packs per minute and require pre-collecting prior to loading. Camera Vision system located the packs on the infeed and collated into groups of three for the second robot to load into the pre-erected shipping case. The cases were automatically erected and tape closed within the Top Load Case Packing machine.
