End-of-line automation
APT Packing
Connect inspection and traceability with the final stages of packaging. APT Packing brings together case handling, packing and palletizing in configurations suited to the product, production rate and level of automation required.
Application
Assisted configurations combine operator activity with automated packaging or collaborative robotics. More automated configurations integrate case packing and palletizing into a coordinated end-of-line process. Layout and handling are engineered around the packaging and site requirements.
Key features
- Assisted and fully automated configurations.
- Collaborative robotic integration for suitable packaging and palletizing tasks.
- Connection with vision verification and aggregation where required.
