We are experts in mix packing solutions. From mixed packs of Arnott’s biscuits to the variety cartons on Aldi’s shelves, we specialise in creating flexible, robust solutions — where feasible, building on current operations without the need for full-scale replacements. We have the expertise and experience to create a custom solution that will maximise the return on your investment.
We offer solutions from the end of the manufacturing line to WIP storage, tailored for automation efficiency. Working with Arnott’s, we deployed a customised, fully-automated, end-to-end tote management system in their iconic assorted biscuit mix packing.
We can provide automation to combine distinct varieties — each originally stored in separate boxes — into the same number of cartons, each containing a mix of these varieties. The use of Robotic Grippers enable the system to reliably handle different products within each mixed carton.
Transferring products from one pallet to another — while combining various types of items into mixed cartons — maximises space utilisation and improves inventory efficiency. Product varieties can be identified and verified during transfer using Machine Vision Systems, helping ensure the correct products are selected for each mixed carton.
We offer advanced Special Purpose Machines (SPMs) and robotic solutions specifically designed for mixed product development. For complex mix packing applications, a Proof of Concept will validate product handling, packing sequences and robotic performance before progressing to a full implementation.
We offer scalable solutions that grow with your business. Our mix packing solutions can also integrate with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to manage production data, inventory and product traceability across the packing process.
