Long-Charge AMRs Safely Plug Labor Drain

Mauser Packaging improved operator safety conditions and automated out hard-to-find labor, all the while improving throughput to the tune of 600% in one location, thanks to the new AMRs’ fast and long-lasting charge.

Mauser Packaging Solutions is a global packaging supplier with more than 180 facilities worldwide. At its 206,000-sq-ft Langley, British Columbia, Canada location, the company manufacturers pails and accompanying lids from 1 to 13 gal in size, among other packaging supplies. Large, branded food CPG customers, including Stahlbush Island Farms in Oregon and Saputo Cheese in Illinois, among many others, use these pails for food product applications.

But Mauser’s existing, traditional autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) system didn’t meet the required uptime and throughput to run a 24/7 production.
