Start with what you make.
Our robots know how to handle it.

System pricing varies by configuration and application, and is confirmed during the proposal process. Most JLS food packaging automation projects evaluate payback in the 24–36 month range, depending on labor cost, shift schedule, line speed, uptime improvement, and the specific application. Labor savings scale with the platform, line speed, and labor model, with added value from improved throughput, consistent pack presentation, and reduced product handling. JLS reviews your product mix, package format, line speed, staffing model, and sanitation requirements to determine where automation creates the strongest return.

JLS automates end-of-line packaging for food manufacturers across meat, poultry, sausage and chubs, bacon, formed and portion-controlled proteins, cheese and dairy, seafood, alternative proteins, frozen foods, ready meals, bakery and baked goods, snack foods, confectionery, fresh produce, and pet food. If you make a food product that needs to be loaded into trays, thermoformers, cartons, cases, chubs, or pouches, JLS can usually automate it.

JLS robotic systems load thermoformer pockets, foam and MAP trays, vacuum skin packs, cartons, cases, chubs, brick packs, stand-up pouches, flow-wrapped packs, and retail-ready displays. The right format and machine are matched to your product, line speed, and downstream equipment.

Yes. JLS designs systems to fit USDA- and FDA-regulated food plants, with construction matched to the product-contact area and sanitation environment. Primary product handling (Talon) can be built with hygienic design principles aligned with NSF/ANSI/3-A and EHEDG, IP69K-rated robots and components, and NEMA 4X controls; secondary case packing and cartoning use cleanable, washdown-capable construction — built for the daily washdown these environments require.

JLS builds the Talon (primary handling), Osprey TL/CL/BP (tray, chub, and brick-pack case packing), Hawk (rigid case and carton loading), Patty Hawk (frozen patty case packing), Kestrel (collation of cylindrical products), and Peregrine (high-speed vision-guided pick-and-place). JLS matches the machine, tooling, and layout to your product and packaging format.

Throughput depends on the product, package format, line layout, robot configuration, and required placement accuracy. JLS sizes the automation around your actual product, SKU mix, line speed, and packaging equipment so the system is built for your production requirement rather than a generic rate claim.
