Our de-palletizer is the first in the world to de-palletise products of varying sizes, in any stacking pattern, without the need to reset programming.

Also known as 3-Dimensional De-Palletising, or 3DD, its vision system detects boxes of product in any configuration.

Unique programming enables optimal pickup to ensure a consistently high rate of de-palletising.

We also offer robotic palletizing systems with high throughput and the capability to handle multiple carton/box sizes. Interfacing pallet conveyors, pallet wrapping and labelling systems contribute to a completely automated solution.

The benefits of these technologies include labor savings and removal of the risks associated with manually handling heavy boxes and pallets.

Safely automate pallet and crate movements, even in a congested working environment.

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are a flexible, adaptable solution for automating intralogistics operations. Come and visit our stand to see an AMR in action!

AMRs can safely work around people and obstacles, using dynamic digital maps and onboard camera and laser-based navigation systems. They can be quickly configured and mapped for fast implementation and are easily reprogrammed when operational needs change.

A fleet of AMRs employed at a single facility can communicate with each other to optimise traffic flow, improve operational efficiency and avoid collisions with each other. They can also integrate with production PLC systems, to provide a real-world IoT solution to a plant’s automation.

AMRs are a proven technology with an attractive return on investment (ROI).

Applications

• Movement of product on pallets or in crates
• Within a warehouse or production facility
• Suitable for congested working environments

Benefits of AMRs over Pallet Conveyors

• Greater flexibility of layout design
• Can better accommodate small footprint operations or awkward factory layouts
• Easily expanded to meet future needs
• Faster, lower cost installation and commissioning
• Less moving parts, resulting in lower maintenance costs
• Spare units can be supplied to ensure uninterrupted service

Benefits of AMRs over AGVs

• Safely works around people and obstacles
• Lower set up cost and fast implementation
• Co-ordination and flow – a fleet of AMRs at a single facility can co-ordinate with each other to maximise efficiency and traffic flow
• Trackless navigation, depots not required
• Can deliver to user locations
• Flexible and adaptable – easy to re-map on site or remotely when products, layouts or delivery routes change
• Easily expandable to accommodate growing production or distribution requirements

The system uses shuttle robots in a compact storage area, optimising space utilisation. This design eliminates the need for large shelving areas, increasing storage capacity without expanding the footprint.

The ASRS enables high-volume picking and storage by coordinating the movements of shuttle robots, with products being identified by SKU. This speeds up retrieval, reduces downtime, and boosts productivity.

By implementing this advanced technology, businesses can streamline logistics, manage inventory effectively, and meet the demands of the market.

• High volume of product being moved in and out of storage
• Plants with a range of SKUs
• Sorting assorted product being received from the production line before storing
• Picking product to order, to create rainbow pallets
• Available for use in either chilled or frozen environments

• Allows complete inventory management and integration with production and sales management systems.
• High-speed elevators and live shuttle system for pallet consolidation and picking to order.
• Proven performance in frozen and chilled environments.
• Eliminates manual handling and traceability issues.

Carton freezing tunnels are high-throughput automated systems to chill or freeze boxes or crates of meat and poultry products.

Their fast chill or freeze (2-48 hours) preserves product quality and uses significantly less energy than manual blast freezing cells. Automated loading and unloading removes the risk of injury through strain and reduces human contact to improve food safety.

Our tunnels were the first of their kind introduced to the market in the 1970s are today recognised for their superior performance and reliability.

Tunnels employ an air blast based system that provides uniformed conditioning to either chill or freeze product. Application of very low temperatures in a controlled environment enables a fast chill or freeze; typical cycle times range from 2- 48 hours.

Interfacing conveyor systems provide completely automatic, hands-free loading and unloading of product, precisely timed to achieve the desired temperature. Eliminating manual handling preserves product quality and reduces the incidence of injury through strain.

The integrated controls and automation designed for each system application allows for operator changes to the set retention time. The controls also deliver complete tracking of all product within the system which aids in the management of further processes post chilling or freezing such as palletising and distribution.

Tunnels can be designed to operate with a variety of refrigerants depending on customer specifications and desired cycle times, in order to integrate with other process flows within the facility.

Our tunnels come in two distinct designs; the single retention time (SRT) tunnel and multiple retention time (MRT) tunnel.

Open boxes of varying shapes and sizes the safe, hygienic and efficient way with the Universal Robotic Box Cutter.

This product has been developed for secondary processing operations, where cartons/boxes of bulk meat products are required to be opened and product transferred to the line, ready for further processing.

Also known as the Universal Box Cutter, or UBC, this first-of-its-kind system removes the need for operators to manually open boxes or cartons using knives.

The UBC uses vision technology to scan the box and determine its size and shape. Information is then passed to the robot to make adjustments to the cut profile, on the fly, without the need for operator intervention.

It is capable of cutting box straps and bands, and adapts automatically to handle damaged boxes.

Key Benefits

• Handles multiple box formats at the same time
• Operator input not required for box size and shape changes
• Reduced labor – allows staff to be redeployed to higher value work
• Eliminates manual handling, knives and the associated risk of injury
• Removes risk of product contamination by operators
• Sanitary design with full wash down compatibility
