Product handling prowess improves end-of-line packaging

摘要

For Cabot Creamery Cooperative, after winning gold at the World Championships, the answer to "what are you going to do next?" was easy, and didn't involve a trip to Florida. Cabot Vintage Choice Cheddar was named one of the 16 best cheeses in the world at the 2012 World Championship Cheese Contest, held in Madison, WI. Meanwhile, back in the Green Mountain State, Cabot Creamery was successfully completing major packaging line upgrades. The enhanced packaging line has increased productivity and lowered costs while running all varieties of the Cabot 8-oz cheese bars seen in supermarkets nationwide. Rob Hirss, cut and wrap manager for Cabot Creamery, explains, "Adding an automated case packer and palletizer also has lessened the risk of repetitive-motion injuries and heightened overall safety."
