Case Packing & Packaging Automation Malaysia
Centricorp designs and integrates case packing and packaging automation systems in Malaysia for manufacturers looking to automate product handling, carton packing and end-of-line production processes.
Our solutions can integrate product handling, case erecting, robotic packing, carton sealing, labelling, inspection, conveying and palletising into a complete automated packaging line.
Systems are customized according to the product, carton size, production speed, packing pattern and available production space.
Automatic Case Packing Systems
Automatic case packing reduces repetitive manual packing by automatically loading products into cartons or cases.
Depending on the product and production requirements, the system can use:
- Industrial robots
- Collaborative robots
- Pick-and-place mechanisms
- Vacuum gripping
- Mechanical gripping
- Servo handling systems
- Custom end-of-arm tooling
Products can be packed individually, in groups or in layers depending on the required case packing pattern.
Robotic Case Packing
Robotic case packing provides flexibility for applications involving different products, carton sizes or packing patterns.
A typical robotic case packing system can include:
- Product infeed conveyor
- Product positioning
- Robot or collaborative robot
- Custom EOAT
- Carton positioning
- Case erecting
- Product loading
- Case closing and sealing
- Barcode or label system
- Vision inspection
- Outfeed conveyor
Recipes can be provided through the HMI where different product models or packing configurations are required.
Case Erecting and Carton Handling
Automatic case erectors can be integrated into the packaging line to form cartons before the packing process.
The system can automatically:
- Store flat carton blanks
- Pick and open cartons
- Fold bottom flaps
- Seal or tape the carton bottom
- Transfer cartons to the packing station
Different carton sizes can be accommodated depending on the selected machine and required changeover method.
Product Handling and Packing
The correct handling method depends on the product shape, weight, surface and required production speed.
Centricorp can design handling systems for:
- Bottles
- Cartons
- Boxes
- Pouches
- Bags
- Trays
- Containers
- Components
- Bundled products
- Other packaged goods
Custom robot grippers and vacuum systems can be designed to handle single or multiple products per cycle.
Case Sealing
After packing, cartons can be automatically closed and sealed.
Options can include:
- Tape sealing
- Hot-melt adhesive sealing
- Automatic flap folding
- Top and bottom sealing
- Automatic carton transfer
The case sealer can be integrated with the upstream packing equipment and downstream inspection or palletising process.
Labelling, Barcode and Vision Inspection
Packaging lines can include automatic identification and inspection before the finished carton leaves the system.
Applications can include:
- Label application
- Barcode printing
- Barcode verification
- QR code reading
- OCR verification
- Batch code checking
- Label presence inspection
- Tape presence inspection
- Carton inspection
- Product verification
- Automatic reject
Inspection results can be communicated to the PLC for OK / NG sorting and production monitoring.
Complete End-of-Line Automation
Centricorp can integrate multiple packaging processes into one complete end-of-line automation system.
A complete line can include:
Product Infeed → Case Erecting → Product Packing → Case Sealing → Labelling → Vision Inspection → Robotic Palletising → Stretch Wrapping
This provides a single integrated system from finished product handling through completed pallet preparation.
Robotic Palletising Integration
Case packing systems can be integrated directly with robotic palletising.
Finished cartons are transferred from the packaging line to the palletising system where they can be automatically arranged onto pallets according to the required stacking pattern.
Additional equipment can include:
- Carton conveyors
- Pallet conveyors
- Empty pallet dispensers
- Slip-sheet handling
- Robotic palletising
- Stretch wrappers
- Barcode systems
- Safety systems
This allows Centricorp to provide a complete packaging and palletising solution from one system integrator.
Flexible Product and Carton Changeover
For production lines handling multiple products, the automation system can be designed with recipe selection through the HMI.
Depending on the equipment configuration, recipe-controlled parameters may include:
- Product model
- Carton size
- Packing quantity
- Packing pattern
- Robot positions
- Conveyor settings
- Label information
- Inspection criteria
- Pallet pattern
The required level of automatic or manual changeover is determined during the system design.
Controls and Production Monitoring
The complete packaging line can be controlled through an integrated PLC and HMI system.
Functions can include:
- Production start / stop
- Product recipe selection
- Machine status
- Production quantity
- Alarm display
- Reject quantity
- Equipment interlocking
- Fault diagnostics
- Production data
- Maintenance information
The control system can also interface with upstream and downstream production equipment where required.
Safety Integration
Packaging automation systems are designed with appropriate safety devices according to the completed machine configuration and risk assessment.
Safety equipment may include:
- Safety fencing
- Interlocked doors
- Safety light curtains
- Safety laser scanners
- Emergency stop circuits
- Safety sensors
- Robot safety functions
