Case Packing
A client came to us with a need to case pack cartons of ice cream into shipping cases for two separate packaging lines.
Core Challenges
- Several Different Pack Patterns
- Condensed Project Schedule
Project Justification
- Reduce Labor
- Increase Production
ESC's Solution
We began by identifying all project constraints and designed the case packing system around them — two simultaneous production lines running different SKUs, each producing 250 cartons per minute.
ESC's scope started after product exited the packaging machines. Product was aligned before entering the case packing operation, where each robot picked layers at a time — varying by pack pattern — and placed them into the shipping case.
After packing, each case ran through a sealer and was then conveyed overhead to the dedicated palletizing room, keeping the floor clear and the production flow continuous.
