Adaptable Cartoning Solutions with Flexible Controls
When you need a top-load cartoning solution that’s tailored to your needs, it’s not always easy to find what you’re looking for. At JLS®, we believe that adaptability is essential to your cartoning line’s success. That’s why we offer automated cartoning solutions that provide the versatility your application requires.
Read on to explore how JLS’ Peregrine® carton loading systems with flexible controls give you the freedom to enhance your operations.
Carton Loading Solutions with a Centralized Architecture
Traditional cartoning systems aren’t able to easily communicate and synchronize the precise control of the carton with the robot. The Peregrine cartoning system is powered by B&R controls, a flexible, user-friendly control platform with a centralized architecture with distributed hardware that makes efficient, reliable communication possible.
The B&R platform allows devices to communicate with each other and present information without a lot of code. The machine tells the robot exactly where to go and what to do. This eliminates connectivity problems that cause delays and mutations. The ability to connect everything digitally between the robot, JLS TRAK® system and traditional servo motion on one single platform makes this solution much easier to automate.
Small Electrical Footprint
The B&R controls platform requires fewer cables and wiring than other platforms. This provides the entire system with a more sanitary and food-safe design by reducing potential bacterial harborage points. It also makes cleaning and sanitation more straightforward, helping reduce downtime. And, with fewer cables and wires, the Peregrine is a more compact solution, making it ideal for fitting into both new and existing lines.

Web-Based Diagnostics & Remote Support
Cartoning systems without web-based diagnostics can be time-consuming and costly to troubleshoot or replace when your machine is down.
With web-based diagnostics, the B&R platform allows JLS to embed the diagnostics directly into the HMI. This provides end users with the chance to reclaim their uptime with off-the-shelf, web-based tools at their fingertips.
