Delivering the right technology to the right place

WEPA boosts palletizing flexibility and efficiency with Körber’s automated solutions for fast product changeovers.

Challenges:

 

Flexibility is one of the tissue industry’s main challenges, as product formats, packaging types, and palletizing requirements vary widely. At WEPA’s Piechowice plant, frequent changeovers and high product variation made it difficult to achieve efficient palletizing with standard solutions, requiring faster adaptation and less manual intervention.

 

Solutions Implemented:

 

  • A cross-technology use of different systems
     

  • Two integrated palletizing systems (PA15 with ZF72 and PA08)
     

  • Intelligent control system to detect and route products automatically
     

  • State-of-the-art 3D scanning and digital simulation for precise layout planning

 

 

Benefits:

 

  • Faster product changeovers with minimal adjustments
     

  • Improved efficiency and reduced errors in palletizing processes
     

  • Increased flexibility to handle varied packaging and pallet types
