The products are previously placed in plastic boxes
of the eurobox type, measuring 23” x 16” x 12”,
forming a transport and storage unit
Connection to the packaging lines
The packaging lines coincide with the end
of the production chain, the point where
Mecalux systems start to handle the goods.
The packaging station is connected to other
areas through a double automatic conveyor
circuit: one sends empty boxes into this area and the other sends the filled boxes to the
warehouse.
Boxes can be filled directly on the end of
each line or on a non-automated conveyor
that also serves as the preparation table. The
continuous conveyor runs parallel to this,
carrying the completed boxes.
In this area that connects to the packaging
lines, the warehouse management software
Easy WMS registers all products that are introduced into each plastic box and uses the
data until they are dispatched.
From the identification point, conveyors are
protected by metal mesh enclosures as a
hazard prevention measure and to avoid any
inappropriate intervention.
The large capacity for accumulating boxes
en route to the warehouse means the exits
to the picking areas can be prioritized, since
both operations use the same conveyor
systems.
