The Challenge

A prominent systems integrator sought an advanced conveyor system to optimise the sortation and packaging of perishable goods, specifically fruit. The project required a solution that ensured rapid processing while handling delicate and irregularly shaped items. The client's objective was to establish a standardised process control system that could be seamlessly implemented across multiple locations. This entailed designing defined workspaces for manual handling before automating product transportation.

The Automatica Solution

After thoroughly analysing the client's requirements, we identified opportunities to enhance efficiency and maximise space utilisation. Employing state-of-the-art 3D design technology, we engineered a comprehensive mechanical conveyor system comprising over fifty belt and gravity conveyors. Our focus on seamless integration ensured compatibility with the client's existing wrapping machines, facilitating a smooth transition to the new system.

The Result

Implementing the new conveyor system led to significant improvements in throughput and product handling during critical sortation and packaging processes. The enhanced system provided better product visibility, resulting in higher quality inspections and reducing the likelihood of subpar products reaching customers. This improvement bolstered the client's reputation and ensured customer satisfaction.

Moreover, the automation capabilities of our system enabled the client to streamline their workforce, effectively reducing headcount and achieving a return on investment through improved labour efficiencies.
