Study Automated Packing Solutions
Solution
Groenewout supported Atlas Copco in the design by a roadmap. First step was to analyse the throughout capacity. In the second step the available suppliers
with their technical possibilities and constraints (box types, min/max. box dimensions, carton thickness) were matched to determine feasible packing configurations. In a last and final step the business case was calculated showing the CAPEX potential OPEX savings and the layout impact was determined by 3D CAD model.​
Benefits
The Atlas Copco team benefits from:
- Extensive market knowledge of available packing solutions.
- Feasibility of matching potential configuration and the impact on flows.
- Clear view on FTE impact based on conceptual choices to be made.
- Insights about possible machine placement due to 3D solution sizing.
- Proper risk evaluation of potential bottlenecks (carton thickness, odd size shipping label etc.).
