See how JLS Automation's robotic packaging systems are helping food manufacturers reduce labor, increase throughput, and improve product quality.
A family-owned, USDA-inspected sausage manufacturer in Bensalem, PA retired a manual sausage-loading station with a KESTREL Collate & Load System and custom VOB tooling.
A Wisconsin cheese converter installed a TALON with two EOAT configurations to handle round, square, rectangular, and wedge cheese SKUs on one platform. Featured in Packaging World.
A 90-year-old, third-generation family meat processor in Reading, PA scales production with a TALON vision-guided loading system that runs through full washdown cycles, day after day.
A fourth-generation bacon processor in Stevens and Womelsdorf, PA partnered with JLS engineering to develop the HARRIER bacon draft loading system. Tom Weber, Director of Maintenance & Continuous Improvement, co-developed the platform.
A fourth-generation confectioner partnered with JLS to design and install an integrated PEREGRINE + TALON line — 16 robots running together on a single B&R controls platform. (Customer name pending written release.)
A family-owned Midwest meat processor retired a manual loading station with the KESTREL Collate & Load System — singulating de-linked meat sticks and hot dogs from bulk and placing them precisely into thermoformed pockets. Placed through the JLS–Reiser partnership.
A US prepared foods manufacturer installed a three-head TALON primary loading system with custom two-pick EOAT to retire a manually-intensive taco and tortilla loading station. Published in industry trade press.
A long-standing JLS customer used JLS Aftermarket to refurbish and retool two existing HAWK case packing systems for a new product mix. Both passed FAT under a Fortune 500-grade protocol with 16 recipes per machine over four days.
A US bacon processor installed a dual-head HARRIER on a retail bacon line, with direct integration to a Reiser Repak 2T3R thermoformer. Patent-pending EOAT prefolds the L-board flap, rotates 180°, and places into the thermoformer pocket.
A large US beef processor installed a full-line PATTY HAWK Frozen Patty APO system with eight robots arranged across four frames and MHS EC-5000 bag detection. JLS's flagship installation for frozen patty handling.
A US sandwich manufacturer installed a fully integrated sandwich assembly line — four TALON robots for primary handling, four PEREGRINE robots for cartoning. 8 robots on a single B&R Automation controls platform, programmed in-house at JLS.
A national bakery brand replaced a prior cartoning station with a three-head PEREGRINE on a heritage snack cake production line. Vision-guided cartoning of soft baked goods at line rate, JLS-programmed in-house.
