Case Study KR 180 PA : How Gilde Benefited from our Tray Packaging Equipment Tray Packaging

In the order-picking warehouse at Gilde in Tonsberg (Norway), the overriding concern is how to get freshly processed and packaged meat to the customer. About 140 employees currently sort customer orders. For some time now they have had a new colleague: a KUKA KR 180 PA robot. The robot takes care of the “fast movers”. This is the name given to the goods that are ordered most often, and which are consequently dispatched in large numbers. 

The seasonally fluctuating “fast mover” products are produced in far higher numbers than the standard products. At Gilde they run on five production lines. In order to get them to the customer as fast as possible, an order-picking system able to handle the product diversity and also the increased capacity was required.

The KR 180 PA was chosen above all due to its long reach. Even though the roller conveyor leading into the cell is installed about three meters above floor level, the palletizing experts are able to take packages from it and to set them down near the floor. It was thus possible to avoid additional investment costs for the roller conveyor – thanks to the KR 180 PAs’ long reach, the conveyor did not have to be routed downwards.
