Plastic trays are specially shaped containers or carriers used in production to safely transport, store, and handle components. They are designed to be compatible with robots, conveyor systems, and other automated production equipment. Their adaptability to existing systems and common logistics standards ensures seamless integration. Additionally, they bridge the gap between robots and components, further supporting automation.

However, trays are much more than just packaging—they can serve additional functions. These include painting trays, assembly trays, or ESD trays that provide electrostatic protection for sensitive electronics.

The Advantages of Plastic Trays

Reduction in labor costs due to fewer manual interventions

Integration of additional functions, such as masking during painting

Lower error rates through more precise component placement and quantity control

Increased production speed through optimized transport routes

Reduced scrap rates due to gentle handling

Cost savings through reusability and lower maintenance requirements

Flexible shipping & assembly by directly passing components in the tray to the next process
