Cartoners (carton erectors) are designed to construct cartons and containers from flat blanks made of flexible paper board or similar materials.
The main areas in a logistics, distribution or order fulfilment centre are the inbound and outbound docks as well as the storage and picking areas. Manual handling is common in these areas and to optimize the operation, the operational set up is crucial.
