Efficiency is critical in the fast-paced world of manufacturing. Companies constantly seek innovative solutions to streamline production processes and meet customer demand. 

LD Davis recently collaborated with Linear Solutions, a renowned robotics company, to revolutionize our packaging production line.

Improving Gelatin Packaging with Automation                                    

We sought to optimize our packaging operations and turned to Linear Solutions for assistance. 

The challenge was clear: palletizing boxed glue cakes weighing up to 40 pounds presented a labor-intensive task for our operators. In response, Linear Solutions proposed the implementation of a Kuka Robotic Palletizer, custom-designed to meet our needs.

The project, from conception to completion, spanned 40 weeks. Throughout this period, our teams worked closely together, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance of the robotic palletizer. 

The result was a state-of-the-art packaging solution that increased efficiency and reduced the physical strain on our operators. Discover more about our new packaging process and the benefits we’ve noticed from robotic integration.
