A new robotic arm at Pack Klaipeda

Pack Klaipeda is taking a well-planned strategic step! The company is investing almost €165,000 in a robotic arm to automate product packing. Any company that wants to stay competitive and adapt quickly to market pressure needs to make moves like this.

The packing line is one of those parts of production where monotonous physical work takes a lot of people. The plant runs a continuous four-shift schedule, so this investment will eliminate 8 packer positions (2 per shift).

For the business, this means leaner processes and fundamental change:

• Less exposure to labour shortages. It’s no secret that finding and keeping workers for physical, repetitive tasks is getting harder. The robot keeps the cycle running no matter the season or shift rotation.
• Consistent quality and speed. The robotic arm moves precisely, so every product is packed to the same standard. It removes human error and makes the whole line more productive.
• Better use of talent. People in production are too valuable to spend on mechanical tasks. With packing automated, we can move them to work that needs critical thinking, oversight and decision-making.
