Boulangerie La Fabrique, located in Quebec City, needed to produce more while preserving the artisanal aspect of its products. A few years ago, the company faced a major challenge in managing production and storage volumes, with a packaging bottleneck.
"5 years ago, we found ourselves faced with a major challenge. We were able to supply both production and warehousing volume. It was really in packaging that we had a bottleneck we couldn't absorb. From there, we met Revtech, which specializes in robotics. We were light years away from thinking that one day a robot would be installed in our factory." - Stéven Alanon, Chief Baker, La Fabrique
Revtech implemented an innovative conveyor system that monitors and stabilizes the products, enabling the robot to pick them up and place them in a bag. This system eliminated the tedious task of manual packing, simplifying the operators' work. The main objective was to make the packer's job less demanding, as the company had a high turnover rate for this position. This automation has enabled the company to manage its production efficiently and maintain high quality standards for its top-of-the-range products.
