End-of-line plants: automation as an element of success

New technologies of the fourth industrial revolution increase the speed and accuracy of end-of-line load handling equipment, saving time and resources.

There are many aspects that help determine a company’s success: the quality of products, the competitiveness of its offerings compared to its competitors, and the level of efficiency of its means of production.

And that’s not all: a strategy that aims for growth must also take into account the organization of work and the timing of production and delivery.

The time factor in many industries is decisive: getting first to markets rather than being the fastest in customer deliveries are elements that can make all the difference.

Sometimes it is the final tail end of the production cycle that slows down the timelines: order management, packaging and package handling in some cases become real bottlenecks in the production path.

Companies today, even small ones, can strengthen and grow by opening up to the technological innovations of Industry 4.0, where they can find the optimal solutions to remove any obstacles that may slow down the workflow.

This means automating a number of tasks, while also avoiding that percentage of human error that ends up affecting the customer’s perception of the company’s quality.

And not only that. In addition to reducing end-of-line times with consequent cost reductions, automation also enables perfect control of each stage, with immediate detection and resolution of any critical issues.

Tailor-made systems to optimize productivity

If you are looking for effective solutions to give a positive shake to your business, if you have decided to optimize time by automating your production and especially the end-of-line phases, integrating them with efficient systems, you can turn to Sipi’s experience.

Sipi designs and manufactures systems for order management, handling and packaging.

The systems are equipped with dedicated software developed by Sipi to fulfill the customer’s particular needs.

The tools available to make the management of finished products smooth include roller conveyors, conveyor belts, taping machines, wrapping machines, etc.

All governed by software that can be interfaced with the customer’s management system.

In this way the handling of packages is controlled step by step, so that the flow is constant and the synchronism of the various maneuvers perfect.

Completing Sipi’s offerings are barcode package identification and labeling systems, and weighing and volume sensing instruments; the latter provide, quickly and without error, the dimensions and footprint of pallets and packages, even those with irregular profiles.

Automated end-of-line procedures: when speed marries precision

If you are convinced that speed undermines accuracy, you have not yet met Sipi and its automation systems.

Handling and Sorting systems, for example, will enable you to sort large volumes of packages, which, thanks to the use of bar codes, will be recognized, catalogued and sent to the correct destination.

In addition to reading barcodes, you can provide cameras that will allow you to capture and store images of packages in your company database.

In Sipi’s catalog you will find stretch rollers, conveyor belts, catenaries of various types for material handling, while for packaging all possible devices are available: taping machines, shrink ovens, wrapping machines.

Palletizing of packages can be performed by Sipi’s palletizing robots, which can handle boxes, crates, bags, even small ones.

A Sipi gem is the specialized line for preparing and fulfilling orders for automotive parts.

Sipi installations apply seamlessly to the handling of packages of significant size and weight.

In fact, end-of-line systems are available for aluminum coils on pallets and for drums, with weighing, packing, labeling and sending to the load for shipment.

Everything under control in real time

Sipi systems, as mentioned, interface seamlessly with various management systems.

This means you’ll be able to control every stage of end-of-line work in real time, intervening quickly in case of problems or, even, being able to prevent them.

In this way you can avoid stops in production and delays in delivery.

Then, in case of any changes (inclusion of new products, replacement of materials used), you already know that Sipi’s software, due to the fact that it is developed in-house, can be modified at any time according to your specific needs.

Rely on the experience of competent technicians.
