Ceratec tackled a complex challenge at DeSobry: palletizing delicate biscuits from two separate lines in a tight space, while preserving product integrity.
Each line had different product codes, carton types, and pallet formats (Euro, Indus, or US 48”), requiring a fully tailored approach.
🔹 The variable arrival rate and just-in-time requirement demanded a system capable of processing two distinct product flows without interrupting production.
🔹 To address this, we designed a robotic cell equipped with a dual-fork gripper, capable of handling cartons, interlayers, and pallets.
🔹 A Cellumation orientation machine, our partner in this project, orients the cartons into uniform layers regardless of size or format differences.
🔹 The infeed conveyors developed by Ceratec, along with a custom picking table, ensure perfect synchronization of the carton flow and robotic preparation — all without the need for large buffers.
🔹 From the interlayer magazine to the final labelling station, every component was engineered for safety, efficiency, and production continuity.
🔹 The entire Ceratec system is designed to remain fully operational in case of network failure, thanks to autonomous PLC management that maintains labeling and tracking.
This project highlights Ceratec’s ability to engineer innovative intralogistics solutions for complex food industry environments.
