Assisting with Labour shortage by automating monotonous processes

The Challenge

With a demanding production schedule and limited access to reliable short-term labour, this customer faced two major hurdles: keeping up with output targets and maintaining consistent quality. Manual operations at the end of the production line were proving inefficient, labour-intensive, and increasingly unsustainable.

The Goal

The customer needed to automate wherever possible - without overhauling the entire factory. With more than 40 different recipes and SKUs in rotation, the solution had to be highly adaptable. Their ideal outcome? A smart, compact system that maximised existing space, streamlined changeovers, and freed up skilled workers for more complex tasks.
