Full End-of-Line Automation Facility
From manual packing to full automation, at scale.
From better control to complete automation
Design and delivery of a fully integrated, multi-line end-of-line automation system for a large-scale production facility in the United States, transforming a manual packing operation into a high-capacity, fully automated process..
Scope:
International site survey and production analysis
Full system design, including multi-level layout and material flow
Development of a six-line end-of-line packhouse system
Intelligent product routing to allow dynamic line balancing and contingency handling
Integration of both low-level (bag) and high-level (box) infeeds
Design and manufacture of bespoke gantry structures for equipment, access, and control systems
Installation of access platforms, stairways, and safety systems
Custom software development for full system control and flexibility
Electrical design, panel build, and system integration
Return to site for full installation, commissioning, and handover
Key Improvements
Fully flexible product routing across multiple lines
Dual-level infeed system handling different product formats
Integrated structural and automation design
Centralised control of a complex, high-throughput operation
Built-in redundancy to maintain production during maintenance or downtime
Outcome:
A complete transformation from a labour-intensive packing operation to a fully automated, high-efficiency facility. What was once a manually operated space is now a seamless, scalable end-of-line system delivering consistent output, improved reliability, and significantly increased capacity.
