Background

The Combilo packaging hall houses five lines that make millions of packages every year. The company specializes in the import, export, packing, storage, shipment, and distribution of fresh fruit and vegetables to retailers. One of the products it packages is the “traffic light” bell pepper set, which comprises a packet containing one red, one yellow and one green pepper. The traffic light pepper packaging line had previously required seven staff members. Not surprisingly, the process was quite slow and labor-intensive. With the new packaging line built by systems integrator EasyPack Technologies and utilizing Omron robotics and vision, Combilo is able to pack its traffic light sets much more efficiently.
