Polish confectionery company's packaging machine had infeed and carton pusher mechanically linked, with individual dwell times limiting overall machine speed. High maintenance downtime impacted asset utilization.

iTRAK Intelligent Track System with Allen-Bradley controllers programmed in a single integrated software environment. Separated infeed and carton pusher to enable independent dwell times.

50% throughput increase. Reduced machine downtime. Increased performance and improved asset utilization.

Replacing mechanically-linked packaging machine mechanisms with independent cart technology enables 50% throughput increases by decoupling dwell times, allowing each station to run at its optimal speed.
