Automation Opportunities

BUILT FOR GROWTH

Growth can change the end of the line quickly.

New customers, additional volume and more SKUs can create challenges in areas that previously worked well.

More Volume

Higher production rates can expose bottlenecks in case handling, palletizing and material movement.

More SKUs

Additional products and packaging formats can make sequencing, changeovers and palletizing more complex.

New Requirements

New pallet patterns, display formats and packaging requirements can add complexity quickly.

Labor Pressure

Increased production does not always come with the additional labor needed for repetitive end-of-line tasks.

LET’S TALK

Not sure if there’s an automation project yet?

That’s okay. Let’s discuss the process.

Tell us what you’re producing, what is changing and where you’re seeing challenges. We can help determine where automation may make sense.
Co-manufacturing automation

Tell us about your process.

Share a few details and we’ll start the conversation.

BUILT AROUND THE PROCESS

Automation does not have to start with a finished specification.

We can start by looking at what you are running today, what may be changing and where automation could provide the most value.

MCRI has built everything from compact palletizing cells to high-throughput, multi-line systems for manufacturers managing demanding production environments.

Start with the production problem, not the robot.

Palletizing, case handling, conveyance, material movement and mixed-product applications can all be evaluated as part of the overall process.

START WITH THE PROCESS

You don’t need to have the automation figured out.

A useful first step is understanding what you are running today, what is changing and where the pressure is showing up.

Show Us the Process

Walk us through what is being produced, packed, moved or palletized today.

Tell Us What’s Changing

More volume, new SKUs, new customers or labor constraints help identify where challenges may develop.
