Handling & PickingProcess description:
Steps in the process that client wants to automte:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec quam felis, ultricies nec, pellentesque eu, pretium quis, sem. Nulla consequat massa quis enim. Donec pede justo, fringilla vel, aliquet nec, vulputate eget, arcu. In enim justo, rhoncus ut, imperdiet a, venenatis vitae, justo. Nullam dictum felis eu pede mollis pretium. Integer tincidunt. Cras dapibus. Vivamus elementum semper nisi. Aenean vulputate eleifend tellus.
Automation goals:
The reasons behind automating the proceses:
- I want to improve product quality and uniformity
- I want to reduce the number of employees working on this process
Further explanation:
A labour shortage has driven the need for further automation of this manual packing process. The client wants the automated system to match the current human throughput (up to 100 parts per minute at peak) while ensuring no damage to the product, and to reduce the manual headcount from four operators to one. The project is part of a wider plan to roll out similar automation across the company’s multiple sites.
Timeframe:
Expected timeframe for the solution to be installed:
I need the automation solution to be installed: Within a year
Further explanation:
Implementation during the company’s quiet period, June–July 2027. The client is ready to start. The investment is company-funded, and this project forms part of a larger multi-site automation plan.
