Food, beverage and FMCG
Food, beverage and fast-moving consumer goods plants move large volumes of cartons and pallets from the packing lines to the trucks. These are the usual tasks between the end of the line and the shipping dock.
Typical tasks
- Palletising cartons from several packing lines at the end of line
- Storing finished-goods pallets by batch, first in, first out
- Building mixed pallets for stores and distributors
- Loading trucks at the shipping dock
What to send us: Cartons per hour on each line, pallet sizes and stacking patterns, pallets in and out per day, the number of SKUs and batches, and a site plan.
Common questions
How many lines can one palletising robot serve?
Usually one or several lines, depending on cartons per hour on each line, carton types and stacking patterns. The palletising range is on the product page; the layout is calculated from your line data.
How is first in, first out by batch handled?
The pallet AS/RS or narrow-aisle robots store and retrieve pallets on instruction; the batch rules are applied by your WMS, and the equipment software is interfaced to it per project.
