SOLUTIONS — CELL—03 / PACKING CELL

Case packing that doesn't drag on for months.

Automate the repetitive end-of-line packing work that burns through casual staff. From $26/hr. Consistent case loads, consistent line speed.

  • STARTING RENTAL PRICE $26/HR
  • STANDARD DEPLOYMENT PATH 8–12 WEEKS
  • FORMAT CHANGEOVER <30 MIN
(01) THE CELL — CASE PACKER / FROM $26/HR
(02) LAYOUT OPTIONS — WHICH CELL FITS YOUR LINE

Scoped to
your line.

Case packing changes shape with the product and the case. Top-load, side-load or collate-and-load — the layout is chosen around how your product wants to be handled, not the other way around.

[A] TOP
Top-load cell cell layout

Top-load cell

BEST FORRigid, uniform products into a held case

Product is lowered into an open case from above. The most common and gentlest layout — ideal for bottles, jars, cartons and trays that stack cleanly.

  • HANDLINGGENTLE
  • CHANGEOVER< 30 MIN
[B] SIDE
Side-load / wrap-around cell layout

Side-load / wrap-around

BEST FORBags, pouches and flexible packs

Product is loaded horizontally, or the case is formed around a collated stack. Suited to flexible or awkward packs that will not drop cleanly from above.

Collate-and-load

BEST FORHigh counts per case

Product accumulates into a full layer or pattern, then loads in a single motion — fewer robot cycles per case when counts are high, holding pace at speed.

(03) WHY THIS CELL EARNS ITS RATE
[01]

Keeps pace with the line

The cell packs at upstream speed, shift after shift. Your team stops feeding cases by hand and starts running the line instead.

[02]

Format change in under 30 minutes

Carton, tray, top-load, side-load — adjustable across your range. ARR owns the programming; your operators own the changeover.

[03]

Wrong fit? Send it back

It runs unattended through standard shifts on one managed support path. If it doesn’t earn its rate on your line, it goes back.

(04) WHAT'S IN THE RATE — SPELLED OUT

Everything.
Included.

One hourly rate covers the cell and everything that keeps it useful. What's not included is spelled out too — see what's included.

  • 01 INDUSTRIAL ROBOT ARM WITH PACKING END-EFFECTOR
  • 02 CASE SIZE PROGRAMMING
  • 03 LINE INTEGRATION AND PACING
  • 04 WEEKLY PERFORMANCE REVIEWS
  • 05 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND SPARE PARTS
  • 06 OPERATOR TRAINING
  • 07 24/7 BREAKDOWN RESPONSE
(05) DEPLOYMENT — FIRST CALL TO FIRST PALLET

Deployed
in weeks.

No multi-month procurement cycle. From the first call to the first pallet off your line is weeks, not months — and ARR carries the technical load the whole way.

(06) STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Should we automate packing before palletising?

Often, yes — especially when manual packing is the labour-hire pain. We scope the worst bottleneck first and recommend from there, not from a product catalogue.

How much of our engineering time will this take?

Far less than a purchase. ARR handles programming, integration and coordination. Your team approves scope and runs the line.

Can we pilot it first?

That’s what the 90-day pilot is for — prove it on your line, under $15k, before any longer commitment.
