Improving the labor shortage, productivity, and working conditions in the sausage manufacturing site.
This is an example of automating the packaging process using robots in a manufacturing site where four workers were previously involved in loading sausages into a deep-draw packaging machine. Until now, one worker would carry the sausages, which had their twist ends cut off, to the deep-draw packaging machine, while two workers aligned the sausages and another two workers quickly placed them into the pockets of the vacuum packaging machine. (Total number of workers: 5)
Due to the repetitive nature of these tasks over long periods, there were concerns about unstable production efficiency and the risk of worker injuries. Additionally, in today's labor shortage, securing human resources for any process has become challenging, resulting in considerable heavy labor.
The "Automatic Sausage Alignment Supply Line" has automated the packaging process that was previously done manually. By simply randomly loading the cut sausages, the robot aligns them to the specified number. In the next unit, another robot reliably places the sausages into the pockets of the packaging machine.
After implementing this line, the packaging process can now be managed by only 1 to 2 workers feeding the machine. Our company specializes in robotics for the food industry and possesses a wealth of experience and know-how. Please feel free to consult us about anything related to robots.
