Aurora Coop Boosts Production with a Turnkey Automation Solution from ULMA Packaging
This collaboration, implemented across several of Aurora Coop’s plants, integrates complete packaging and automation solutions that enhance operational efficiency, reinforce food safety and ensure full process traceability.
Full Automation: From freezer exit to end-of-line
ULMA Packaging has engineered a customised system that connects every stage of the production process, from the freezer exit to the end of the line. This turnkey solution stands out for its scalability, flexibility and adaptability, supporting Aurora Coop’s growth and technological evolution.
Key solutions implemented
In the projects deployed at Aurora Coop’s plants, the following elements were featured:
-
Product distribution and alignment systems at the freezer exit, with automatic control of temperature and product quality.
-
Automated feeding into packaging, both horizontal and vertical, with smart synchronisation according to each line’s demand.
-
Integrated automatic packaging systems incorporating technologies such as Flow Pack (HFFS), Thermoforming (MAP/Vacuum), Traysealing (traysealers), Vertical (VFFS) and Stretch or Shrink film, selected according to the specific characteristics of each product.
-
Product alignment and grouping modules that optimise workflow and reduce bottlenecks.
-
Robotic case-packing and palletising solutions, customised to each plant layout, guaranteeing logistic standardisation, safety and traceability control.
