Abstract :
In this paper, we present an optimization of the packing station that operates in the Linostar plant in Patrica, Italy. The work has been developed in cooperation with Linostar management in Patrica. In particular, we have carried out a specific analysis procedure for the specific packing station called the "RAD-ACE workcell". Results of this in-depth analysis have given us the opportunity to propose some alternative solutions and changes that can enhance the productivity and optimize the current manipulative process
