An Okura conveyor line, approximately 60m long and consisting of three levels (1880mm high), was installed in the center of the workshop. A total of 18 flower robots, which serve as the main equipment, are lined up on both sides of the line. They quickly sort each flower chrysanthemum brought in by growers into different grades and automatically bundle the required number of flowers. After the bundles are bundled, workers check the number of flowers and place them into empty cardboard boxes, replacing the unloading and packing robots. Shifting from robotic to manual work required a larger space for the work area and work flow, but this was resolved by reducing the space required by configuring the conveyor line to three levels (the top two levels are for empty boxes and the bottom level is for filled boxes).

A three-tiered conveyor line (enclosed by dashed lines) is installed in the center, with 18 flower robots lined up on either side.

Okura conveyor with a three-tier configuration. The top two tiers are for empty boxes, and the bottom tier is for full boxes.

This line uses a Unicon V line drive type, and because empty boxes that are normally tightly packed together due to line pressure are difficult to remove, 18 removal ports installed near each flower robot are freed by stopper control to make removal easy. 160 to 200 daisies are packed into a box, and on the lowest line, they are transported from the automatic packaging machine downstream to the refrigerated automated warehouse to await shipment.

The empty box removal section is free due to stopper control, making it easy to remove.

It is put into the lowest line and transported downstream.
