Easily upgrade to automated case packing with MWES’ turnkey solutions
Stepping up to automating manual case packing operations doesn’t have to mean spending weeks installing equipment. MWES’s turnkey case packer systems install quickly and easily. In most instances, systems can be up and running in a day, making the MWES case packer as ‘turn-key’ as they come.
Ways to increase automation performance without investing in a new system
Over the course of their lifetime, production line automation systems begin to lose efficiency. Replacing it with a completely new system would certainly improve throughput while bringing production tracking and control technology up to date. However, a new system’s price can be difficult to justify. Upgrade the current system, instead!
Next level machine tending with MWES’ standard tending cells
Our system was designed from the start to provide off-machine, secondary operations during the usual machine tending operations. That means if a part needs to be cleaned, deburred or repositioned back in the machine for more operations, our system can do it without the need for human help.
Learn how our case packers can increase throughput!
We’ve released a case study on a recent project that helped a CPG producer get more throughput using one of MWES’ standard, drop-in case packaging machines. Our standardized systems are built to be installed as quickly as possible with machines being production ready in as little as a day.
Full Scale Integration and Abraham Lincoln
We’ve talked about big robots before, but at MWES we build the complete automation system in-house before shipping it out. That means having all the processing equipment in house as well, no matter what the scale.
Investigate automation potential with MWES’ Proof of Principle testing
For a lot of operations, the easy automation projects are essentially solved. Simple pick-place operations and general machine tending applications lead that charge with robot-in-a-box solutions. But what if you have a process that’s a lot more complex?
Helping GE Make Ventilators Faster by Streamlining Processes
Midwest Engineered Systems has partnered with GE Healthcare to help build ventilators faster for those in need. GE tapped the firm to help expand its production capacity after hearing of its successes in automating the manufacturing of precision valves for GE’s turbine engine division. One area where MWES has been
Packaging a Bag Packing Machine for Fast Results
With good labor getting harder to find and retain, automating the more repetitive production processes becomes a necessity. Automating these tasks allows the transfer of valuable labor resources to more important tasks. MWES’s robotic case packing solution does just that for bagged products that have proven difficult to previously automate.
MWES Doubles Customer Productivity with New Web Handling Equipment
MWES prides itself on taking on web handling projects others find too difficult, and this task was no different. A mid-size web handling company turned to Midwest Engineered Systems with the need to explore a more dynamic and consolidated version of their existing silicone coating web handling process. MWES delivered
