Скачать или смотреть Brillopak Crate DESTAKers support Morrisons’ worker wellbeing and efficiency

To help two Morrisons packing plants overcome production bottlenecks, Brillopak installed four Crate DESTAKers at the start of four robotic pick and place case packing cells. However, the real benefit is the difference the machines have made to workforce health and safety and job satisfaction.

Upstream, Brillopak Crate DESTAKers have put a stop to operatives repeatedly overstretching to lift, separate and place clean retail baskets in a constant stream onto conveyors for filling.

According to the HSE, the moving of awkward heavy loads is one of the key causes of manual handling musculoskeletal injuries and work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs). The Brillopak crate separation and palletising systems are designed to address these issues by removing one of the most labour intensive tasks in case packing.

Prior to the automated lines going in, operatives at Morrisons loaded crates manually onto the conveyor. Once filled, another colleague would hoist and stack the heavy filled trays onto pallets.

Now, all movement of the empty and filled crates is done using robotics. By automating every part of the process from crate separation to palletising has resulted in 90% of the physical labour being taken off the line at Rushden.

Each Brillopak Crate DESTAKer unit can separate up to 480 crates every half an hour. Operatives then manoeuvre another pallet of washed and empty crate stacks into position on the infeed conveyor, so the process can continue.
