Europack: Pioneers in European Automation
The needs of modern manufacturers are evolving: more competition, higher customer expectations and rising costs mean they’re under increasing pressure to improve throughput and enhance efficiency.
Solving common end-of-line bottlenecks: A troubleshooting guide
For many manufacturers, time is money. Faster operation and streamlined production result in greater throughput and better manufacturing efficiency, while interruptions cause delays and increase costs.
Improving supply chain resilience with automation
For manufacturers, keeping the supply chain running smoothly is critical to maintaining efficiency and profitability. Yet challenges come from all around, causing delays, increasing costs – and emphasising the importance of resilience. In this blog, we’ll explore more about supply chain resilience, including what it means, why it’s important and how it can be achieved.
Case study: End-of-line palletising solution for global manufacturer
PALpack were recently contacted by a global organisation via our website who were looking for an end of line palletising solution. Faced with space limitations, multiple product variations and two pallet sizes, various design and logistical challenges arose that made it difficult to find a supplier with the experience and knowledge to offer verifiable solutions to these challenges and design a single, reliable turn-key robot palletising cell.
More than a palletiser: How LITA systems can revolutionise manual handling
From reducing labour costs to increasing productivity, the role of automation in manufacturing is clear. But finding the right equipment for the job can be a challenge. Enter, LITA Palletising Systems, expert in material handling since 1962. Known for its precision-engineered palletisers, depalletisers and handling solutions, the company’s comprehensive ranges integrate into the production line seamlessly, optimising workflows and boosting efficiency.
Ensuring efficient palletisation: why a user-friendly interface is important
Efficient palletisation is an important part of the manufacturing process. But it can also be complicated, with multiple sources of data covering parameters and features all requiring precise processing and management. The information is often highly technical and, while crucial to ensure an accurate end result, can overwhelm operators who need to work quickly and efficiently. Rather than lists of numbers and data, they require a simple, intuitive interface that is easy to use and provides maximum efficiency.
Palletising and depalletising in the food and beverage industry
In the food and beverage industry, speed and efficiency are key to making savings and driving success. However, food and drink products are often fragile and need to be packed, transported and unloaded carefully to prevent damage or contamination. This need to combine pace and precision when palletising and depalletising is just one of the challenges facing manufacturers today. In this blog, we’ll explore these difficulties further and look at some of the solutions.
Choosing the right packaging for your product
Selecting packaging is an important decision. Beyond aesthetics it can play a pivotal role in a product’s success, impacting on end-of-line processes, transport costs and customers’ purchasing decisions.
What is an automatic palletiser?
From layer palletisers to cartesian palletisers, in the competitive world of manufacturing an automatic palletiser is a valuable addition to a production line. But what is a palletiser? What does a palletiser do and why is it such a beneficial piece of equipment? In this blog, we take a closer look at the features and benefits of palletisers, delve into the different types and provide an overview of the brands available.
Palletisation and depalletisation explained
Palletisation and depalletisation are two essential operations in the handling of goods and materials. Palletisation refers to the process of placing goods onto a pallet whilst depalletisation is the act of removing them - and both take place in a variety of industries.
