$10 MM Robotic Packaging System for the Aerospace Division of a Major Fortune 500 Chemical Manufacturer
Background
Our client, a chemicals manufacturing company, had their sights set on a fully automated production system for packaging a diverse range of flagship products. But they were stuck.
A fully manual hand-labeling, hand-packing, palletizing, and product-picking operation meant every increase in volume required more labor. Order initiation, picking, packing, and shipping were all managed on paper, creating delays, errors, and limited visibility. They were struggling to meet growing fulfillment needs, and major customers were flagging frequent packing quality issues.
Previous industrial automation attempts were stalled by combination complexity, limited insight into manufacturing issues, and a lack of real-time data.
Tired of hearing it couldn’t be done, they turned to us. We brought our extensive expertise in Lean Six Sigma and Industry 4.0 technology to make it happen.
