The Challenge
The client’s manual flatbread (chapati/roti) and snack packaging line was struggling with inconsistent portioning, high labour dependency, frequent contamination risks, and inability to meet surging export demand. Manual processes limited output to 4,500 packs per hour and created hygiene compliance issues for international markets.
Invensys Solution
Invensys Engineers designed and commissioned a fully automated, food-grade packaging line integrating high-speed SPM, hygienic conveyors, and robotic pick-and-place. The system handles dough forming, cooking, cooling, and final vacuum-sealed packaging in one continuous flow.
Key Technical Features
- Stainless-steel, washdown-rated hygienic conveyors with quick-release belts
- Custom SPM for precise dough sheeting, cutting, and stacking (servo-controlled)
- 6-axis collaborative robots with food-grade end-effectors and vision guidance
- Inline weight checking + metal detection with auto-reject
- SCADA system with real-time OEE dashboard and traceability to batch level
- Fully compliant with FSSAI, HACCP, and EU food safety standards
Measurable Results
- Throughput increased by 68%(4,500 → 7,600 packs per hour)
- 70% reduction in manual labouracross three shifts
- Product consistency improved to 99.7% (zero weight variation complaints)
- Zero contamination incidents since commissioning
- ROI achieved in 8 months
