End-of-line systems that case pack and palletize high-count flows of small, light and fragile products.

Industry Overview

Confectionery sends very high unit counts into secondary packaging while offering very little surface to grip. Together, those two facts make gripper design the defining decision on the line.

Promotional and gift packs keep changing what goes inside the case. So case layout and pallet pattern are handled as recallable recipes rather than mechanical setups: a new pack does not mean a new machine build.

Challenges and Answers

The industry's challenge, Cortiva's answer

01
Challenge

Products are small, light and fragile, with very little usable gripping surface.

Cortiva Answer

The vacuum gripper is specified for the product, with contact points and pick pattern designed around its surface.

02
Challenge

High-count production means a large number of units per minute into secondary packaging.

Cortiva Answer

The packing station is sized to the production rate, and grouping is engineered together with line speed.

03
Challenge

Promotional and gift packs change the in-case configuration frequently.

Cortiva Answer

Case layout and pallet pattern are stored as recipes: a new promotional pack needs no mechanical change.

04
Challenge

Product arrives randomly on the conveyor, so fixed-position picking does not work.

Cortiva Answer

Vision-guided picking reads product position every cycle, absorbing an irregular flow.
