The ready-made meals include but are not limited to frozen dinners, microwaveable meals, pre-packaged salads, fresh or chilled meals, meal kits, canned soups and stews.

As the demand for convenience food rises, manufacturers and suppliers of ready-made meals must address the challenges of handling and transporting large quantities of these products. Palletising plays a crucial role in streamlining logistics and supply chain processes for such products and allows manufacturers to efficiently organize their products, reducing the time and labor required to load and unload shipments.

This level of automation enhances productivity and reduces the risk of errors, resulting in a more cost-effective operation for manufacturers and suppliers. Additionally, these automated systems can handle heavy loads and maximize space utilization on pallets, further optimizing the logistics process.

The variety of ready-made meals available also presents a challenge in palletizing, as different packages may have unique dimensions and shapes. CSi is aware of that and uses advanced software and adaptable robotic systems in order to streamline the process and to handle various packaging configurations effectively.

Moreover, palletizing plays a vital role in ensuring that ready-made meals reach consumers in good condition. Sturdy and well-organized pallets reduce the risk of damage during transit, preserving the quality and appearance of the packaged meals. This reliability is crucial, especially for time-sensitive products with limited shelf life.
