END-OF-LINE PACKAGING & INSPECTION
Kraken’s End-of-Line Material Handling & Inspection systems are designed to bring control and consistency to the final stages of the packaging line. This is where products are verified, packed, sealed, labeled, and prepared for final handling.
Detection and rejection are critical to product quality.

These are often the final control points in the line—and some of the most important.
Kraken’s End-of-Line Packaging & Inspection solutions are commonly applied to:
These solutions are especially valuable when the product must be inspected, packed, and verified. Reliably is critical at the final stages of the line.
We understand food safety compliance verification before final packaging. Kraken integrates metal detection systems to help identify contaminants and support compliance with the food industry regulations.
Typical applications include:
Confirm product or package weight before final handling.
Kraken checkweighing solutions help identify underweight or overweight product to support quality control and packaging accuracy.
Automatically remove non-conforming product from the line.
Kraken reject systems are designed to isolate and remove non-conforming product without disrupting production.
Load product into cases in a controlled, repeatable format. Kraken case packing systems are designed to support a wide range of products, pack patterns, and throughput requirements—whether through robotic, gantry, drop-load, or other integrated case packing approaches.
Typical applications include: bags, bottles, cartons, pouches, clamshells.
Apply the identification needed for traceability, logistics, and downstream operations.
Kraken works with labeling and coding partners to help ensure finished cases are marked correctly for shipping, inventory, compliance, or internal tracking requirements.
Typical applications include:
Move finished cases efficiently to final handling and palletizing operations.
Kraken designs conveyance systems that ensure filled cases leave the packaging line in a controlled, organized flow ready for palletizing or downstream logistics.
Typical applications include case lane routing and transfers to palletizing systems.
Without proper validation, non-conforming product can continue through the line, leading to rework, waste, customer complaints, or downstream disruptions. Validation systems help ensure products meet required criteria before advancing to the next stage.
Kraken does not treat end-of-line packaging as a collection of standalone machines.
Every solution is engineered around how the full packaging system needs to perform, including:
That system-level perspective is what allows Kraken to deliver end-of-line solutions that perform reliably under real production conditions.
End of Line or Inspection Systems are often downstream from:
Inspection equipment can identify unacceptable products and trigger a reject mechanism that removes them from the line while allowing acceptable products to continue downstream.
Cases can be automatically grouped, oriented, stacked, or arranged using engineered material-handling systems before they enter downstream palletizing or handling operations.
Flexible bags often require controlled product orientation, grouping, staging, and loading before entering a case. Kraken integrates these steps into case-packing solutions designed around the product and production rate.
The integration must manage product flow, spacing, accumulation, controls, and communication between the upstream equipment and case packer. Often the work surrounding the case packer is as important as the case packer itself.
Kraken Automation designs and integrates custom end-of-line systems involving product handling, case packing, inspection, conveyance, case movement, stacking, and other secondary packaging processes.
Inspection equipment can often be inserted into an existing process if there is adequate space and product control. The system must also provide a reliable reject method and coordinate with existing controls and conveyors.

If product presentation, spacing, or transfer challenges are affecting performance, Kraken
can help engineer a solution that brings more control to the line.
