Glass & Plastic Packaging
Palletizing, Tracking, Labeling + Wrapping Line
Simultaneous Handling of Six Products
Acieta designed a fully integrated palletizing, tracking, and end-of-line system for Colbert Packaging. With custom dual-purpose EOAT for open and closed cases, multi-pallet compatibility, and real-time MRP inventory tracking, it handles six conveyer lines with zero changeovers.
Benefits
Higher Precision
Custom EOAT handles open display cases, closed multipacks, pallets, and tier sheets with repeatable placement accuracy on every cycle.
Better Quality Control
Integrated label application and verification ensures every pallet leaves the line correctly identified and documented before it ships.
Reduced Human Error
Automated tracking and real-time MRP integration removes manual data entry from the end-of-line process, eliminating errors.
Maximum Flexibility
Six infeed conveyors feed a single palletizing system with no changeover required, keeping the line running at full capacity across a broad product mix.
Labor Savings
Automating palletizing, wrapping, labeling, and tracking frees operators from repetitive end-of-line tasks so they can be redeployed to higher-value work.
Safety + Ergonomics
Removing operators from repetitive heavy lifting, pallet building, and stretch wrapping eliminates some of the highest-injury-risk tasks in end-of-line operations.
