Cranswick automates 240-picks-per-minute sausage line with Rockwell Automation delta robots, freeing workers for skilled roles

Cranswick automates 240-picks-per-minute sausage line with Rockwell Automation delta robots, freeing workers for skilled roles

Cranswick, one of Britain's largest premium food manufacturers, has commissioned a fully automated robotic pick-and-place system powered by Rockwell Automation's Allen-Bradley hardware and autonox delta robots to handle end-of-line sausage packaging at 240 cycles per minute. The deployment, delivered by CWM Automation, removes a manual bottleneck on a high-volume seasonal line and reassigns workers to more skilled positions. The project lands as UK food manufacturers face mounting pressure to find automation ROI amid ongoing labor constraints and rising production targets.

  • 01Cranswick's new autonox delta robot system executes 240 pick-and-place cycles per minute on its pigs-in-blankets packaging line, a throughput rate that manual labor cannot match at scale.
  • 02Allen-Bradley Kinetix VP servo motors and a GuardLogix 5380 safety controller handle precision detection and orientation of each sausage before placement, per Rockwell Automation's announcement.
  • 03Workers displaced from the manual packaging stage are being redeployed to more skilled roles on other production lines, a model other food manufacturers can replicate to address labor productivity gaps.
