Case Study: Niederrhein Automation boosts packaging output with Vention cobots

Niederrhein Automation - Customer Case Study

Niederrhein Automation partnered with Vention to solve a labor-intensive packaging challenge for a food and beverage customer. Faced with labor shortages and a repetitive tea bag packing process that needed to integrate with an existing production line, they needed a fast, scalable automation solution; Vention’s MachineBuilder software and digital twin capabilities were key to the project.

Vention helped Niederrhein Automation deploy two Doosan cobots with custom grippers and a 14-meter Dorner conveyor system to fully automate the packaging process. The result was a 50% increase in production per shift, output rising from 800 to 1,200 cartons, and 8–10 employees per shift reallocated to higher-value work, with a one-year payback and the creation of a new ghost shift.
