W.H. Leary, Nosco Fastrack Delivery Of 250K Cartons
Box Shipments ( U.S. Corrugated Product Shipments) Industry Shipments In Billions of Square Feet Month May 2020
Tinley Park, Illinois based W.H. Leary Company, a supplier of cold glue application and quality assurance solutions, along with Nosco, a Gurnee, Illinois based digital supplier of pharmaceutical packaging, were recently faced with an opportunity to quickly deliver a COVID-19 carton. Nosco had been assigned the task of running 250,000 of these cartons with a short deadline. The pharmaceutical carton required 14 separate glue patterns as well as quality assurance monitoring. One solution would be to use the plant’s existing Leary Array controller equipped with eight gluing and detection pat- terns, but Nosco would need to run each carton through the gluer twice, which would have been time prohibitive. Nosco contacted Leary to figure out how to best make this application work, noting that production would need to run in three business days to meet the deadline. Leary provided an Array LS-924 controller, which has the capa- bility of 24 glue patterns with detection, as was needed. Leary would build, test and ship this controller along with additional gluing and detection stations in just two days. The necessary material was delivered for quick in- stallation by a Leary technician and Nosco was able to suc- cessfully deliver the required number of COVID-19 cartons to their customers.
