By: TR Cutler End of Line Automation Drives Food Safety and Quality is a feature article authored by well-respected journalist, Thomas R. Cutler in the current issue of IFSQN (International Food Safety and Quality Network.) According to Cutler, “End-of-line automation and material handling in the food sector requires various types of palletizing robots, stretch wrapping equipment, labeling systems, pallet control systems and laser-guided automatic vehicles. Software must include automation for scheduling, routing, monitoring and visualization of the complete end-of-line process. The food sectors special requirements for hygiene, safety, and data tracking are leading considerations of technology system designs for food safety and quality.” Robotic considerations for the food and beverage industry include: - Flexibility on pallet patters due to robot preparation. - Product change over without mechanical adjustments - Minimum footprint in relation to capacity, flexibility, and accessibility - High precision and quality in product placement on the pallet - Reduced Maintenance - State-of-the- The Business Challenge: According the Elettric 80 President, Enrico Grassi, “Palletizing robots, LGVs, stretch wrappers, product tracking software and labeling machines have never been used in tandem before. We developed an automation solution based on a simple idea…robotic palletizing cells handle goods at the end of the production line, then LGVs transport the pallets to the stretch wrapping and labeling equipment. The technologies are adaptable and have a degree of built-in flexibility which makes them suitable for any plant layout or design.” Elettric 80 is a global provider of end-of-line automation solutions designed to increase operational efficiency for high volume Consumer Products manufactures. These solutions called Freeway are a highly flexible material handling system. The technologies are adaptable and have a degree of built-in flexibility making them suitable for any plant layout or design. With the addition of Warehouse Optimizer (WO) the Freeway system easily extends into the warehouse utilizing Laser Guided Vehicles (LGVs) for Storage & Retrieval System (SRS) and Auto-Trailer Loading (ATL), providing flexible automation solution for the overall end-of line production and warehouse.
