Scott specialises in complete internal logistics and materials handling solutions for manufacturing and warehousing facilities. These automated and robotic systems facilitate all product movement, packing, palletising, warehouse storage and distribution, handling a wide range of packaging, such as cases, cartons, trays, crates and pallets.
Our wide portfolio of industrial services and systems include conventional layer and robot palletisers, pallet conveyors, case conveyors, order preparation systems and automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) and other materials handling equipment. This is complemented by our software package, Maestro+. Automating these procedures creates a more efficient production line with cost-saving, productivity and safety benefits.
Deciding which type of palletising is best for your plant is determined by speed, scale and product type. While all palletisers can palletise, some are better suited to certain production requirements than others.
Multi-line palletising is better for limited space and medium-speed production lines, linking several lines to one, or more, palletisation machines. As soon as enough product is ready to fill a complete pallet, the system transports it to the palletisers and takes care of the palletisation. This system can handle multiple product types concurrently.
End of line palletising systems is designed mainly for manufacturing sites with very high production volumes where a dedicated palletiser per line is the optimal solution. Often the product requires careful and supported handling, being fragile and/or heavy.
Robotic palletising is better suited to slower production lines, offering a flexible approach to addressing fluctuating production requirements. It can be located anywhere within the plant and is well suited to working with AGVs.
Complying with sanitation and other food safety regulations is made easier with automation, allowing manufacturers to focus on ensuring their product quality.
