1. A ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS END-OF-LINE PACKAGING AUTOMATION From Packaging Line to Dispatch Integrated automation for bagging, case packing, conveying, palletizing, pallet handling, and truck loading. Your Global Partner in End-of-Line Packaging Automation www.alligatorautomations.com
2. INTRODUCTION End-of-Line Automation, Engineered as One Connected System Modern manufacturing plants need more than standalone machines. They need an integrated end-of-line system that connects packaging, material movement, palletizing, storage interfaces, and dispatch. Alligator Automations designs and integrates automation solutions that help manufacturers improve throughput, reduce manual handling, optimize floor space, and create smoother product flow from the packaging line to final dispatch. OUR APPROACH COMBINES Automatic bagging solutions Case packing systems Intralogistics conveyor systems Robotic and conventional palletizing Pallet conveying and wrapping Automatic truck loading systems Controls and system integration ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS www.alligatorautomations.com 02 / 16
3. FROM PACKAGING LINE TO DISPATCH One Integrated End-of-Line Flow 1 Primary Packaging 9 Automatic Truck Loading / Dispatch 2 Product Discharge & Conveying 3 Inspection / Check Weighing 8 Finished Goods Staging 7 Pallet Handling & Stretch Wrapping 4 5 Secondary Packaging Case or Bag Conveying 6 Palletizing Each stage can operate independently, but the greatest efficiency comes when the complete system is engineered as one coordinated automation platform.

4. AUTOMATIC BAGGING SOLUTIONS Reliable Automation for Bagged Products Alligator Automations provides automatic bagging systems designed for high-throughput industrial applications. SOLUTIONS CAN INCLUDE INDUSTRIES Food, fertilizers, chemicals, polymers, animal feed, cement, building materials and other bulk-product sectors. Automatic bag filling Bag sealing and closing Bag flattening and conditioning Bag handling conveyors Bag-in-bag systems Bulk and jumbo bag applications Integration with upstream production equipment ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS www.alligatorautomations.com 04 / 16
5. CASE PACKING & SECONDARY PACKAGING Automating the Transition From Product to Shipping Case BUSINESS IMPACT Secondary packaging automation helps manufacturers maintain consistent packing quality while reducing repetitive manual operations. Faster packing cycles, consistent case formation, reduced manual handling, and better integration with downstream palletizing. SOLUTIONS MAY INCLUDE RSC case packing Wrap-around case packing Cartoning Robotic pick-and-place packing Case erection and sealing integration Product collation and orientation Multi-SKU handling ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS www.alligatorautomations.com 05 / 16
6. INTRALOGISTICS CONVEYOR SYSTEMS Connecting Every Stage of the Packaging Line Conveyors form the backbone of an integrated end-of-line system. Alligator solutions can support: MULTIPLE LINES > ONE CENTRAL ZONE LINE 1 Product conveying Pallet conveyors Bag conveyors Accumulation and buffering Case conveyors Merge and divert systems Roller conveyors Incline and decline conveying Belt conveyors Routing between multiple production lines LINE 2 LINE 3 PALLETIZING & DISPATCH Centralized zone LINE 4 ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS www.alligatorautomations.com 06 / 16
7. PALLETIZING SOLUTIONS Consistent, Flexible and Scalable Pallet Formation SUITABLE FOR Palletizing automation helps improve line productivity while reducing repetitive lifting and forklift dependency. Bags, cartons, crates, boxes, trays, drums and other packaged products. SOLUTIONS INCLUDE Robotic palletizing systems High-level and low-level palletizing Multi-line palletizing Multi-SKU recipe handling Automatic pallet dispensing Slip-sheet handling Loaded pallet discharge ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS www.alligatorautomations.com 07 / 16
8. PALLET HANDLING & WRAPPING Moving Finished Loads Safely Toward Dispatch BENEFIT After palletizing, automated pallet handling creates a controlled material flow toward finished-goods areas. This helps reduce unnecessary forklift movement inside production areas. TYPICAL INTEGRATION CAN INCLUDE Pallet conveyors Transfer units and turntables Stretch wrapping Labeling and pallet identification Accumulation zones Finished-goods staging ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS www.alligatorautomations.com 08 / 16
9. AUTOMATIC TRUCK LOADING SYSTEMS Extending Automation Beyond the Packaging Hall Automatic truck loading connects finished-goods handling directly with dispatch, reducing manual forklift movement and improving the consistency of outbound logistics. FINISHED GOODS KEY ADVANTAGES Reduced truck loading time Lower forklift dependency More predictable dispatch operations Improved operator safety Better production-logistics coordination Higher throughput during peak dispatch Automated loading to dispatch ALLIGATOR AUTOMATIONS www.alligatorautomations.com 09 / 16
10. INTEGRATED CONTROLS & DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY One System. Better Visibility. Automation is most effective when machines and material-handling equipment operate as a coordinated system.
