This page describes a typical system architecture, not a record of a delivered project. Equipment selection and throughput are defined per project.
Line Flow
How the product moves through the line
Each node is a station on the line; the note underneath states the method used there. The order is the product's physical journey; equipment selection and throughput vary per project.
On beverage lines the case is heavy and it moves fast. Unit picking cannot keep up beyond a certain rate; past that point the logic shifts to layer forming: cases are built into rows, then layers, and placed on the pallet in one move.
In this example configuration a high-level palletizer takes over layer forming, and pallet discharge connects directly to autonomous transport, given wet floors and heavy forklift traffic.
