Project Objectives / Requirements:
Setting The Scene
As a leading manufacturer and retailer of quality bakery items, our UK based client has grown significantly over the past few years. With ambitious objectives for future growth driving the need for operational enhancements at their large-scale production and storage facility, additional automated solutions would be necessary.
Having previously installed a number of L-A-C Logistics Automation conveyors and smaller systems at their site, they were now looking at the next stage of their growth trajectory aimed at quadrupling production, and were relying on L-A-C Logistics Automation to deliver an automated solution to achieve the operational efficiency levels and throughput speeds required, as well as improving traceability and the overall pick and pack process.
With such an increase in production levels, the new automated palletising cell from L-A-C Logistics Automation would need to manage accurate tray stacking, combined with tray orientation & labelling, palletising and wrapping of 60 tray stacks per pallet, running 24/7. The client would need three identical solutions to cope with the volume across the new production lines.
