How a Sandwich Wrap Producer Automated Their Line with Grote Robotics

A large sandwich and wrap manufacturer in the UK manually assembled, cut, and packaged wraps. Production and quality were inconsistent, and labor was increasingly hard to find and keep. The company turned to Grote Company—with whom it had a long relationship for food processing equipment—to further automate with robotics.

Grote's robotic solutions reduced manual labor and increased production and quality, as well as food and plant safety.

The system includes two hygienic Stäubli robots and custom end-of-arm tooling that transfer sandwich wraps to the infeed of an ultrasonic Wrap Cutter. It fits into the existing footprint and is integrated with the existing equipment.
