The packaging line includes all processes from case erecting to pallet packing.

The line is comprised by SOCO SYSTEM standard modules in close cooperation between Umpac employees and experienced SOCO SYSTEM employees from the sales and project departments. Communication with supplier of labelling and pneumatics was also handled by SOCO SYSTEM. Teamwork and partnership are parts of the equation for making a project of this size successful. 

“Total supplier of packaging lines with own production”
The fact that SOCO SYSTEM is a total supplier with own production of all modules in the packaging line was a substantial parameter for choosing SOCO SYSTEM. This ensures full compatibility and no adjustments of products from different manufacturers. 
Easy availability of service and spare parts in the expected life of the entire packaging line is also an essential factor.

- From picking orders in plastic trays to picking direct into shipping cartons.

In the new system, each order/case is equipped with a unique ID in the form of a label with bar codes and a unique 4 digit ID in large print. The label follows and identifies the order/case to the point of shipment.
The SAP EWM system makes a continuous and dynamic calculation of the order flow and ensures optimisation of the picking process. The system analyses the orders, chooses packaging sizes and the most efficient way from pick store to customer - irrespective of being sent in case, on pallet, in scantainer, or in a transport cage. A new packaging line from SOCO SYSTEM was purchased as part of the new process.

The packaging line consists of driven roller conveyors, belt conveyors, side pushers, flap folders, and a case sealer. Programming connects everything and sees to printing of pack lists, delivery notes, and shipping label when the cases have been packed and tape sealed. Everything is standard SOCO SYSTEM components and modules that can be extended, relocated, and adjusted according to changes in the production environment. 

The 2-man packing station consists of 4 standard modules - packaging tables, case sealer and conveyor - making life easier and more ergonomic for the employees.

This also ensures a neat finish and reduced tape consumption.

Outstanding packing station for, e.g., web shops!
