Velocity in packing cases by KINE system

In a food industry enterprise were three sizes of cases packed by hand from conveyor to pool boxes. Work made by hand was very slow. The system carried out by KINE made the packing more effective: robot lifts into the pool boxes two layers of cases on base of the information received from the factory operating software. Capacity is 100 cases per minute.
