Elegant solution

L.A.C. Conveyor Systems, a UK manufacturer working with CAP Systems and SSI Schäfer have installed a £500,000 tote box making and robot packing system for Stockmann in Helsinki. 

The element that L.A.C. Conveyor Systems delivered came in three parts: A tote erector taking a stack of 15 flat pack totes, de-stacking them and erecting into formed totes at a rate of 1 per 4 seconds. The second part involved taking totes off a supply line at a rate of 1 per 4 seconds and stacking them on a dolly to a maximum of 10 per dolly. The final part involved a robotic arm taking totes from a supply line and stacking them onto a pallet at a rate of 1 per second.

The rates of supply were the key to delivering the system and L.A.C. Conveyors designed an elegant solution for a complicated system that fulfilled all requirements.
