Abstract
A production line is a set of sequential operations established in a factory where components are assembled to make a finished article or where materials are put through a refining process to produce an end-product that is suitable for onward consumption. This project is Automatic Packaging System, that is the process or procedure of packaging a product without human assistance. It will be a fully automated packaging lines that seal, stack and unitize entire pallets of goods.The production line that we will design is Automatic Packaging System, that is the process or procedure of packaging a product without human assistance. It will be a fully automated packaging lines that seal, stack and unitize entire pallets of goods.
This line consists of two conveyors, one for boxes and the other for the product, and two cartesian robot, one for transfer the product to box and the other for unitizing entire pallets of the boxes.
There are three phases for this line,
• First phase is entry the box on the box conveyor and the product on the product conveyor.
• Second phase is transferring the product to the box via the first robot when the product and the box arrived to the appropriate place.
• Third phase is unitizing entire pallets of the boxes via the second robot.
