The extension of the system we have installed at Tasty Foods contributed to the full automation of the case handling process of the factory. The system receives carton cases from two production lines on a conveyor line. The cases are then raised by a lift at 3,5m and conveyed parallel to the wall. The last part of the line is inclined, so the cases are brought back to 1m from the ground, and the conveyor line is merged to the existing line.
What Tasty Foods required was an automated handling and sorting process for carton cases to be palletized, aiming at reduced costs and increased production and warehousing flexibility. Zenon Automation SAICT designed and installed an integrated solution, which completes the process in four (4) steps: 1) Carton case labelling & handling, 2) case barcode reading, 3) carton case sorting and 4) case grouping & palletizing.
