June 17, 2024 | Waheed Chaudhry - Director of Primary Packaging

Ready-to-eat (RTE) breakfast sandwiches and more continue to gain popularity as a cost-effective choice for consumers. In fact, the market is anticipated to grow from $11.92 billion in 2023 to $18.46 billion by 2031 (Skyquest). And according to a recent survey, 94% of people regularly eat sandwiches for lunch (Eating Better). As the demand for prepared sandwiches rapidly increases, it can be challenging for food producers to keep up.

JLS® automated sandwich assembly systems overcome these challenges – and more – with ease, including: 
  • Hygienic automatic assembly of complete sandwiches with pick and place primary handling systems
  • Sanitary and accurate loading of assembled sandwiches into flow wrappers or other primary packages
  • Case packing of wrapped sandwiches into RSC cases  

Read on to explore three advantages of these automatic solutions that set them apart.  

 

Fill Labor Gaps with Automatic Sandwich Solutions

Dependability is necessary for growth. Increasing yields and scaling your business–let alone keeping up with production demands–can seem impossible when struggling with labor availability.  

The fact is, labor isn’t always dependable. But with million-dollar production demands, quotas cannot be reached without labor. Something that shows up every day and does the job is crucial. 

With a JLS automatic sandwich assembly solution, you can achieve that–all without the challenges of manual labor. Our solutions never get tired, do not take breaks and avoid ergonomic injuries, allowing you to allocate your current labor where it is needed most.
