Beverage warehouses are turning to automated solutions like AGVs to solve for labor shortages, safety concerns, and quality control. Dematic's Lorne Weeter shares how AGVs are addressing these challenges and more in the latest Beverage Industry Magazine article. https://bit.ly/3LqscJF

The ability to distinguish among critical, major and minor defects belongs to the basic know-how of the technical inspection staff in our glassworks. However, it is a great advantage if our customers also have this knowledge. The employees from Coca-Cola HBC Czech Republic and Slovakia, who visited our glasswork in Kyjov yesterday, know this. During the visit they had the opportunity to find out not only how and where the bottles for their beverages are produced, but above all what control steps we have in place to ensure high quality products. Yesterday's visit combined with a plant tour was a follow-up to the training that took place last month directly at the customer's site. Its aim was to train a team of employees to be able to evaluate whether the goods that arrived from the glasswork meet their standards. During the training, they were shown bottles with manufacturing defects, explained how the defect occurs and how we deal with it at the glasswork. Subsequently, the participants were provided with an electronic catalogue of defects, which will help them in the future to determine what type of defect it is. We believe that these joint meetings help to build mutual trust and the ability to communicate openly, which we consider as the basis for good and long-term relationships with our customers. #leaderinquality #vetropack #customercentricity

Ring, Ring 🔔-- it’s #NationalForkliftSafetyDay! If members of our team have to travel from one side of our warehouses to another, the line leader rings a bell so that all forklift drivers in the vicinity know they are nearby, and everyone stays safe. This is a good example of common-sense safety that our local team developed. The best innovations and safety measures are usually ones that our teams are encouraged to create and enforce. #copacking #contractpackaging #manufacturing #supplychainmanagement #packagingsolutions #foodandbeverageindustry #supplychain #petfoodindustry #foodsafety #SQF #foodandbeverage #foodandbeveragemanufacturing #packagingsolutions #packaging #innovation #strategicpartner #compliance #agility #kitting #fulfillment #safety

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, efficiency is everything. The images from this Korean restaurant provide a powerful lesson in Single-Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED)—a lean manufacturing technique aimed at reducing waste and improving productivity. Just like these workers swiftly changing plates to serve the next customer, your production line can be optimized to minimize downtime and maximize throughput 🚀. Quick changeovers mean less waiting, more output, and a smoother operation overall. Remember, in business, just like in this restaurant, every second counts. Embrace the principles of SMED to stay competitive and deliver top-notch results consistently. Efficiency is not just about speed; it’s about doing things right, every time 🛠️🔄. #LeanManufacturing #SMED #ContinuousImprovement #Productivity #Efficiency #ManufacturingExcellence

Brewery Bottle Case Packing Line This video provides a detailed look at a Brewery Bottle Case Packing Line, illustrating the advanced automation involved in packaging beer bottles. The process includes the following key stages: *Bottle Infeeding/Dispensing: -The line begins with the infeeding of finished beer bottles from the brewery’s production line. -Bottles are fed onto a conveyor system that ensures a continuous and orderly flow of bottles. *Bottle Diverting: -Bottles are diverted and aligned along the conveyor. -This process organizes the bottles for accurate grouping and prevents bottlenecking. *Bottle Grouping: -Bottles are grouped into specific configurations suitable for case packing. -Grouping mechanisms gather the correct number of bottles, aligning them for seamless case loading. *Case Forming: -Flat carton sheets are formed into cases through an automated process. T-he system folds and seals the cartons, preparing them for bottle loading. *Case Loading: -Grouped bottles are loaded into the formed cases with precision. -Robotic arms or guided mechanisms ensure bottles are placed accurately and securely. *Case Sealing: -After loading, cases move to the sealing station. -Cases are securely sealed using adhesive tape or hot glue to ensure safe transport. *Palletizing: -The sealed cases are conveyed to the palletizing area, where several automated systems work together: -Automated Pallet Storage Magazine: Pallets are stored and automatically dispensed as needed. -Automated Dispenser: Efficiently delivers empty pallets to the palletizing area. -Robotic Palletizing: Robotic systems precisely stack cases onto pallets in the required configuration. *Final Pallet Handling: Once the pallet is fully loaded, it is prepared for shipping or storage. This automated system enhances efficiency and minimizes manual handling. This video highlights the seamless integration of automation in the Brewery Bottle Case Packing Line, showcasing how finished beer bottles are systematically packed into cases and stacked on pallets, ready for distribution.
