Packaging

When packaging companies are looking to automate areas of their factories they look to Ready Systems for our expertise in material handling, assembly lines and systems, PLC controls, as well as custom automation and robotic integration. To complement our understanding of the packaging industry, we’ve organized our facility operations to help with your challenges.

Carton and Box Erectors

We supply and integrate carton and box erectors as well as tray formers. Each machine is adjustable to suit a large number of different packaging sizes with a high degree of reliability. A small footprint makes them easy to integrate into any end-of-line process.

Sealing and Taping

We supply and integrate carton sealers or tapers into end-of-line systems. With intuitive, easy-to-use functions, these box tapers are fast and efficient to help you save time and money. They’re designed to work best when sealing many boxes of the same size during each product run.

Robotic Palletizer Systems

To assist your assembly process we integrate a Robotic Palletizer at the end-of-line. Labels are applied to the parts as they are transferred into the robot zone. The robot can place parts into the box, then picks and places the box onto a skid in specific pallet patterns. We design and build the robotic vacuum grippers or retractable fork style robot End-Of-Arm-Tools into the cell.

Assembly Fixtures

Fixtures required for your system. This process is held to ensure everything is just right, prior to installation.

Overhead Conveyors

We supply and install overhead conveyors as well as CDLR, belt and chain every day. Some systems are newly installed. We can also extend and re-route your existing lines to transfer the parts to new or modified assembly areas. Whatever the path, we can help convey our solution.

PLC Controls

We include PLC Controls in every major project. Our PLC Integration Team has vast experience in all Allen Bradley platforms including ControlLogix, CompactLogix, RS Logix 5000, PanelView, Factory Talk View and RS View. We utilize and program using the latest software available. We’re also versed in Siemens, Omron, GE, Mitsubishi and ABB should this be a requirement.

Shipping

We provide the controls integration downstream to allow the entire pallet to be automatically wrapped in cellophane, then a shipping label applied – which helps your shipping department get the load to the correct customer.
