At CD Cartondruck AG, a leading manufacturer of exclusive packaging for cosmetics, the stacking of cartons on pallets used to be carried out by two employees in every shift. This strenuous work meant that up to 3,000 cartons with an average weight of 7 kg had to be handled in each shift.
In order to ease the load on the employees, the company was looking for an automated solution. The primary requirements specified by the user were short cycle times, flexibility and simple operator control. (R 203)
