How to know if the handling of finished product of your production plant needs to improve?

Blog 7The handling of finished product within your production plant is undoubtedly one of the most important points since it needs to be optimally managed to proceed with its distribution and consumption.Normally, one of the reasons why people try to improve the end of the line or finished product inside the production plants, is due to different reasons: there is no space to store the product, there are many losses within its management or more specific quality control is necessary.

 

This way if you are experiencing:

  • - High staff turnover that translates into high recruitment costs and constant training.
  • - Product wastage due to the lack of friendly product handling.
  • - Lack of space in the area where you are palletizing manually.

When more than one of these variables are presented, the most viable solution is to change the way of handling the product with the different technologies.

A robotic palletizing system refers to machines (robots) designed to automatically accommodate boxes with pallets, wood or plastic products normally. They allow the handling unit to be the platform, which usually weighs up to three tons.

The system has great flexibility because it allows you to handle different types of presentations and products. In addition, it is easily programmable to assemble platforms with different presentations, in different types of arrangements and different types of platforms.

 

Automated storage and recovery (AS / RS) systems allow a high density for product storage through maximization of the height of use in reduced areas "foot print"

These types of systems are available for boxes, pallets, long loads or randomly shaped materials with a uniform base.

 

When handling processes for uniform products (preparation, filling, and packaging), such as cans, bottles, boxes, a conveyor that takes the product from one area to another is essential.

These operations handle small, medium and high flows. However, they will hardly achieve the required productivity if they do not have conveyors to support the handling of the products. The conveyors can be used on a single line or mass type (several products simultaneously on several lines).

 

In this way, you leave a space to grow by putting the product to another specific area where the finished product is handled and a consolidated of all the lines of the chains, to subsequently implement automatic palletizing systems and even automatic storage if your production it allows.
