Transport line for tea boxes

Machines with different products place their boxes on a common production line. The boxes are then distributed to the various packaging lines using a scanning system. The aim is to intelligently identify the boxes during the distribution process and to prevent collisions on the conveyor lines.

Included in the automation system are

• Transfer of boxes from packing machines
• Collision-free transport
• Distribution of the cartons present on the production line to the corresponding packaging lines

The control system is based on Siemens’ components: S7-300, MMS: Operator panels
