The traditionally high labor content in most food processing environments typically enables investment in automation to be justified even overcoming the degree of customization that many solutions require.  KL seeks to maximize the benefits of automation by developing an in-depth understanding of the interdependencies and flow in your operations before designing solutions that fit the context.

KL is committed to bringing effective automation solutions to the food industry for the betterment of:
•  worker safety
•  food safety
•  productivity and economic returns

We do this by:
• Designing and fabricating systems that comply with CFIA and USDA design-for-food-safety demands
• Replacing traditionally manual operations with automation technology compatible with food processing environments
• Applying fundamental lean manufacturing principles when engineering integrated processes and flow lines
• Closing automation gaps between machines that typically operate independently enabling synchronous flow
• Establishing key partnerships for long term mutual gain

Some examples of focus areas are linked below.  These are discrete areas, but there is usually process overlap in a given automation cell enabling robot utilization to be maximized.

• Direct Food Handling	• Packaged Products Handling	• Line Traceable Palletizing	• Line Integration
