#### 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.

### The Solution from Sealpac UK & Partners

We provided a fully automated **end-of-line solution** alongside our tech leading partner - DGS, this combined efficient **pack handling**, **case packing**, and **palletising** – all within a **space-saving footprint**. 

 Key highlights included:

- **Compact automation** system tailored for food production lines
- **Quick format changeovers**, perfect for handling 40+ SKUs with minimal downtime
- Integrated with existing systems for **minimal disruption** during install
- Robust **traceability features** to meet evolving safety standards
- A **robotic system that’s first in, last out, and never calls in sick** - delivering reliability shift after shift

This wasn’t just another off-the-shelf solution. It was a purpose-built system designed to outperform traditional automation options, offering flexibility, simplicity, and true customer alignment.
