RTS Flexible Systems - Packing Line Automation

One of the UK's leading automation integrators, RTS Flexible Systems is a company dedicated to providing value-added, modular and flexible solutions for product handling and packaging applications. Our solutions combine the speed and flexibility of vision-guided, fast working pick and place robots with the latest production technologies for product handling, identification, tracking and analysis.

RTS Flexible Systems was established by the RTS group of companies with the prime focus of bringing the expertise and innovation gained by the RTS Group during 20 years of developing industrial technology for the food handling, FMCG and packaging industries.

APPETITE FOR AUTOMATION

RTS has quickly become a well-recognised and valued authority on food manufacture and automation. RTS sponsored the "Appetite for Automation" survey, and the company has become a champion of the potential of robotics to leverage additional profits for manufacturers and generate a Return On Investment (ROI) in automation. Solutions focus on:

• Increasing capacity generation, and ultimately the profitability of operations
• Improving product yield, reducing the cost per unit and improving profit potential
• Meeting the exacting hygiene demands of the food sector and reducing the risk of food contamination

INCREASE CAPACITY WITH VISION GUIDED ROBOTICS

Drawing on a wealth of experience gained in the industrial and scientific arena, RTS' services to FMCG manufacturers combine comprehensive application expertise with advanced robotic and specialist software. RTS solutions are flexible, modular, reconfigurable and can offer a rapid ROI, whether you are looking to improve your production processes through the addition of an island of automation or to upgrade an entire production line, e.g. automated telephone assembly or medical device positioning and packing.

FLEXIBLE FOOD PACKING FOR EACH BUSINESS

At RTS we work closely with our clients on all projects, ensuring a thorough understanding of the up-stream and down-stream production processes and objectives of automation before recommending a suitable solution. Our objective is to understand your business. Every application is considered on an individual basis, so that we are able to propose the most efficient and effective solution. The flexibility and modular approach adopted by our design teams extends our capability beyond the food sector to pharmaceutical and FMCG applications.

Among RTS' food industry clients is Warburton's bakery, which recently awarded RTS a prestigious Suppliers Award at its first Supplier Conference. RTS was the only engineering company to receive an award in recognition of "commitment and outstanding contribution" during a 12-year working partnership with the firm. RTS has 27 robotic bread tin handling and storage systems in service at six Warburton's sites.

With our contemporary approach to food packaging we are able to deliver the high level of flexibility required by today's manufacturing.
