SDI was contracted to Design, Build and Integrate a total solution for a leading
footwear supplier.
Product is either sent in full cases directly to the stores
or split into mixed sku cartons. This video shows the portion of the building
that is associated with creating the mixed SKU cartons.
Solid SKU
cartons arrive at a de casing station the ‘Pair Boxes ‘ are manually removed
from the outer carton and DE shingled onto an infeed conveyor. The in-feed conveyor
automatically feeds the individual pair boxes onto a tray, each pair box is
fed onto an individual tray.
The outer boxes are subsequently placed onto
an empty carrier system that carries empty boxes to the operators to be reused
for packing. Pair boxes can also be placed on to trays manually, in either case
the pair box is identified by reading the bar code on the outside of the pair
box.
After induction onto a tray the pair boxes are tracked and diverted
to the appropriate chute, each chute represents a carton that will be shipped
to a store. Upon completion the contents of the chute are packed into an outbound
carton ( Reused Cartons ).
The cartons are taped shut and identified
by a unique bar code which later identifies the carton for automatic printing
of shipping labels. The entire solution was delivered by SDI.
