Flexibly automated

With a growing trend towards brand fragmentation which necessitates increasing numbers of smaller blends, Garbuio Dickinson has developed handling and storage systems centred around the use of bins.

This type of system provides maximum flexibility and optimum space utilisation. Fully automated management and tracking of bins and their contents is incorporated using the latest RF tagging technology. Other benefits of this approach to handling include improved storage conditions for the tobacco due to the fact that the stacked boxes cover each other, and the top box is provided with a lid.

For the largest installations, Garbuio Dickinson have successfully integrated their special box handling equipment into high-bay automated storage systems.
