When manufacturers opt to automate their production lines to increase output or lower manufacturing costs, they are often challenged with the decision of selecting robotics or product distribution conveyers. For example, what are the best solutions fordifferent pack configurations, such as for a simple bar package or a more complicated cookie stack?

As a supplier of robotics, conveying technologies and integrated packaging lines, Bosch describes criteria that can provide an optimal feeding solution in its new white paper, “Packaging Line Automation – Robotics or Product Distribution Conveyors?”.

The white paper is available for download on Bosch's website. (http://www.boschpackaging.com/nrd/automation)
