Mylan’s brief in 2019 was to devise an automation to carefully package a 2 x 2 grid of delicate medical sachets into cartons of 120 units. Our first machine was designed in New Zealand and a further 3 identical ones were built by RML’s joint venture in India.
We followed stringent global pharmaceutical standards (21CRF) with careful adherence to product traceability by installing cameras checking barcodes on each carton and ensuring each had a medical guide inserted.
Individual sachets came down an in-feed into a vision cell to determine their exact location on the belt. An ABB IRB360 Robot then picked 4 sachets in continuous motion from the vacuum conveyor before another plucked cardboard blanks and passed these over a glue head and onto a punch to form the carton.
The same robot then picked 2 cardboard members to form a divider – just the kind of precision performance challenge which RML enjoys!
Our integrated, advanced operation ensures the best quality cream cheese is produced consistently.
It was an opportunity to increase the packing line automation, with labour savings offsetting the capital costs.
RML worked with us to understand our requirements and designed a solution to suit our needs. RML delivered an automated system to service two moulding machines producing the Gallagher Ring Top Posts.
We set RML a challenge, design and build a new butter packing machine for a challenging application. RML produced a smart and effective solution that exceeded our expectations.
Ongoing service and support is important to us. RML knew this and I am pleased to say we are not disappointed. I have and will continue to recommend RML to others in our industry based on our experience
We have found RML to be a professional automation solutions provider dedicated to developing, building and maintaining our sophisticated equipment. Their open and honest approach has resulted in very positive outcomes for us.
From the first day we sat down with the RML team, through to today, we’ve been so impressed by the level of service and quality of machinery that they have built for us.
Of all of the types of packers that we have on site (past and present) the RML packers have proven to be the most reliable, and easiest to maintain.
The design process went very smoothly, start up and commissioning went better than we anticipated. We have found the RML team to be professional, proactive and very responsive to questions and quick to resolve any problems for us.
IF YOU HAVE A PRODUCTION CHALLENGE,
WE’D LOVE TO SOLVE IT.
