Goals
To replace the current system of shrink-wrapping and the manual process of placing the cardboard side protections by using a single cardboard packaging to reduce the costs of the packaging material and cut down the power consumption of the machine, with a special focus on sustainability.
To automate the packaging process of high-end skirting boards thus increasing productivity.
Solution
The system includes a loading station for the items with belts that convey the skirting boards to an operator, who stacks them by hand and then sends them to the automatic coupling station.
A robot picks up the die-cut boxes, which are inserted into a die-cutting unit to be shaped automatically. An automatic pusher arranges the skirting boards into the box which is then automatically glued and formed at the last station.
