Safari Sun implemented a custom, self-programmed 3-axis gantry system to pick apparel, resulting in increased efficiencies and process optimization.

Safari Sun is a family-owned and operated apparel manufacturer. What began as a simple napkin sketch evolved into a fully custom, self-programmed 3-axis gantry solution in just eight weeks. Despite minimal Python experience, it was fully self-programmed using Python in MachineLogic.

The results:

  • Eight weeks from idea to fully deployed machine
  • Minimized picking errors for 300+ SKUs
  • 10-minute training
  • 4 FTEs reallocated
