Product Overview

The End of Line Packaging System for Smart Flooring Factory Automation is developed for manufacturers that want to connect finished-product handling, packaging, identification, palletizing, and downstream logistics into one coordinated production process. Designed for products with lengths of 500–1000 mm, widths of 300–600 mm, and package heights of 25–80 mm, the system can achieve a production speed of approximately 8–12 boxes per minute.

With an installed power of around 28 kW and a standard electrical supply of 380V / 50Hz, this automated solution is suitable for flooring, panels, boards, and other regularly shaped industrial products. Instead of relying on separate manual stations, the line can automatically receive products, organize them, complete packaging operations, and transfer finished boxes to labeling or palletizing equipment. The modular design allows each project to be adapted according to product size, line speed, factory layout, and future automation requirements.

Cause – Why the Final Production Stage Becomes a Bottleneck

In many manufacturing plants, production equipment is already highly automated, but the operations after production are still completed manually.

Products may be cut, inspected, and stacked automatically, but workers are then required to move them to the packaging station, count the products, load cartons, apply labels, and prepare pallets.

This creates a mismatch between production capacity and packaging capacity.

Common problems include:

• Finished products waiting between production and packaging

• Manual counting errors

• Irregular package quality

• Too many operators concentrated at the end of the line

• Slow transfer between different packaging stations

• Incorrect labels or product identification

• Repeated manual lifting and handling

• Difficulty maintaining stable output during shift changes

• Limited production traceability

• Difficulty expanding production without adding more workers

When these processes are not connected, the entire factory may still be limited by end-of-line efficiency.

Solution – One Integrated End of Line Packaging System

The purpose of an End of Line Packaging System is to create a continuous flow from finished production to warehouse-ready packages.

Products enter the system automatically after the upstream production or inspection process. Conveyors transfer them to the required packaging stations while sensors and the PLC coordinate each movement.

Depending on the project requirements, the system can perform several functions in sequence.

These may include:

• Product receiving

• Alignment and positioning

• Automatic counting

• Product grouping

• Automatic stacking

• Protective material insertion

• Box loading

• Carton closing

• Product wrapping

• Label printing

• Barcode identification

• Quality inspection

• Robotic palletizing

• Pallet stretch wrapping

• Finished pallet transfer

This integrated approach reduces unnecessary manual transfer and allows different machines to operate as one complete production system.

Specifications

Final specifications can be adjusted according to production speed, product size, carton dimensions, packaging format, destination electrical standard, and factory layout.

Application

The End of Line Packaging System can be used in various manufacturing industries where finished products need to be packed automatically before storage or shipment.

SPC Flooring

For SPC flooring factories, the line can be installed after inspection or stacking and used to automate product grouping, box packaging, labeling, and palletizing.

LVT Flooring

LVT products can be transferred directly from upstream equipment into the end-of-line section, reducing unnecessary manual handling.

WPC Flooring

WPC flooring can be automatically counted, grouped, packaged, and prepared for palletizing.

Laminate Flooring

The system can help laminate flooring manufacturers increase packaging consistency and maintain continuous production.

Wall Panels

Rectangular decorative wall panels can be processed according to customized dimensions and packaging requirements.

Plastic Boards and Profiles

The equipment can also be adapted for plastic boards, composite panels, industrial profiles, furniture components, and similar products.

Building Materials

Manufacturers of standardized building materials can use the line to reduce packaging labor and improve shipment preparation.

How It Works

The complete workflow can be customized, but a typical system operates as follows.

1. Product Reception

Finished products arrive automatically from the previous production process.

The conveyor receives the products without requiring workers to move them manually between machines.

2. Product Positioning

Sensors detect each incoming product.

Positioning devices align the product before it enters the next processing step.

3. Automatic Counting

The control system counts products according to the required quantity for each package.

This helps ensure consistent packaging quantities.

4. Product Grouping

Products are combined into the required group or stack before packaging.

Depending on the application, this process may include automatic stacking, buffering, or alignment.

5. Packaging

The grouped products enter the packaging station.

The packaging method can be customized according to carton structure, protective materials, and finished-product requirements.

6. Identification

A labeling or printing system can apply:

• Product information

• Barcode

• QR code

• Batch number

• Production date

• Shipping information

This helps improve product identification and traceability.

7. Finished Box Transfer

Packed products are transferred automatically to the next station through conveyors.

8. Robotic Palletizing

A robot can pick finished boxes and arrange them according to the required pallet pattern.

9. Final Pallet Handling

Completed pallets can be transferred to a pallet wrapping machine or directly to the finished-goods area.

Main Benefits

Reduce Manual Transfer

One of the biggest advantages of an End of Line Packaging System is the reduction of repeated manual product movement.

Products can remain on an automated conveyor path from production to final palletizing.

Improve Line Balance

Packaging capacity can be designed to match upstream production.

With a standard speed of 8–12 boxes/min, the system helps reduce product accumulation between processes.

Improve Packaging Repeatability

Automatic positioning, counting, and packaging help produce more consistent finished packages.

Improve Production Traceability

Integrated printers, barcode systems, and labeling equipment can help connect product information with production and logistics.

Reduce Dependence on Packaging Labor

Fewer manual packaging operations can help manufacturers manage labor more efficiently.

Prepare Products for Automated Logistics

The finished boxes can be transferred directly to palletizers, stretch wrappers, or warehouse systems.

Support Future Factory Expansion

The modular system allows additional equipment to be added later as production capacity increases.

How To Choose the Right End of Line Packaging System

A successful end-of-line project depends on understanding the complete production process.

Product Specifications

Provide detailed information about:

• Minimum product length

• Maximum product length

• Product width

• Product thickness

• Package height

• Package weight

This information determines conveyor size and handling structure.

Packaging Quantity

Confirm how many pieces should be packed in each box.

Different quantities may require different grouping or stacking mechanisms.
