High-speed packaging gets tricky when you're working with soft, bumpy pouches.

For this system, we built a machine-learning vision system to track incoming snack pouches in real time. Then high-speed robots pick, align, and pack the pouches into trays.

All with the speed and accuracy the line demands.

The result...

🙌 Less product handling

🍱 More consistent packing

🦾 Greater packaging efficiency

Six online grocery orders. Palletized simultaneously. Confirmed automatically.

Byron built this six-position robotic palletizer for a well-known, 24/7 grocery fulfillment operation.

Here's what it looks like in action:

➡ AMRs deliver the packed logistics totes.
➡ The palletizing robot de-nests and places empty pallets.
➡ Sensors detect defective totes.
➡ Six separate work orders are palletized at once.
➡ Then the system confirms each completed order through Ignition SCADA.

It cuts down fulfillment time while taking repetitive palletizing work off the team’s plate.

Not every automation win requires rebuilding the whole line.

For La Casa Del Grano, Byron automated one repetitive step in the grain bagging process: applying tags as the bags are sewn closed.

A robot picks and positions each tag, automatically adjusts to the sewer’s height, then follows the moving bag so the tag is sewn in the same place every time.

The result: the operator can focus on bagging while the cobot handles the tag application—helping improve consistency and productivity.

Sometimes the biggest wins come from automating one stubborn task.

Ears of corn don't arrive on your line neatly sorted and organized for packing.

This is where off-the-shelf automation solutions often won't cut it: a fast-moving, variable input that needs to be turned into dependable, high-quality output.

If that's the sort of thing bottlenecking your operation, get in touch and we'll show you what's possible.

This New Jersey seafood processor was depalletizing thousands of glass jars every day... by hand.

This heavy, repetitive work was bottlenecking their line.

Our integrated solution not only increased productivity by 12% 📈, it freed up a lift truck and five employee positions for higher value work.

The key was to think beyond simple depalletization.

After considering the entire interaction between the pallets, jars, and production line, we designed a robotic layer-picking system that handles:

➔ Full pallet stacks
➔ Top frames and layer sheets
➔ Complete layers of glass jars
➔ Empty pallets

The system measures pallet height, uses cameras for crash detection, and feeds the jars into a Spantech buffering conveyor. A motorized anti-bridging mechanism keeps the bulk flow moving smoothly into a single-lane feed.

Effective depalletizing and front end automation is more than installing a robot to take over a task. It solves the underlying material-flow challenge to boost output and free up resources.

Technology partners on this project included Kawasaki Robotics, Joulin Vacuum Systems, Keyence Vision Systems, Keyence Safety Systems, Axelent Safety Panels, Hope Industrial HMI, and Ignition SCADA Systems.

Small design changes on the warehouse floor can pay big efficiency gains.

During phase two of our work with 3PL provider Saddle Creek Logistics Services, the Byron Automation team designed an ergonomic lift-up conveyor gate that gives employees easier access around the packing line...
..without sacrificing conveyor flow or valuable floor space.

The gate uses MDR conveyor technology with low-voltage power and Ethernet-controlled zones as short as 18 inches, allowing precise product control around the access point.

For distribution and fulfillment teams, that means:

✅ Less time wasted walking around the line
✅ Easier access for operators and maintenance
✅ Better use of limited floor space

This is what thoughtful automation looks like: Solving the small operational challenges that add up every day.

At this aerospace manufacturer, a single robot freed up a lift truck and FOUR employee positions to move to higher-value work.

That's an efficiency leap.

Here’s how an AMR handles 3,500lb stacks of carbon fibre for 24/7 production:

For this project, Byron Automation integrated an AGILOX OCF1400 autonomous mobile robot into a high-output aerospace manufacturing facility in Washington State.

The system exchanges full pallet loads from a 10-station ABBRobotics Robot-on-Rail cell and handles multiple pallet board sizes, including:

➔ 60" x 48"
➔ 48" x 48"
➔ 40" x 48"
➔ 32" x 44"

To make the system work safely and reliably in a live manufacturing environment, Byron also integrated:

✅ Keyence light curtains and area scanners
✅ Custom HMI and PLC controls from Allen-Bradley
✅ Automatic load alignment and approach alignment
✅ Crab steering for tight movement and positioning
✅ Automatic charging for maximum readiness
✅ Easy-to-use AMR software interface

The results speak for themselves:

🦺 A safer, more efficient material handling process
💰 One lift truck and four employee positions reallocated to higher value work
♾️ Around-the-clock performance

This is where automation creates real value.

By designing the right system around the way your facility operates, you get bottom-line efficiency gains that just work.

Curious what a project like this could look like on your floor? Get in touch today and we'll show you what's possible.
