From Enrober to
Retail Shelf, Fully
Automated.
Chandler Automation designs complete confectionery production and packaging lines — chocolate, candy, and confections — from enrobing and cooling through inclusion sorting, precision weighing, and retail packaging.
Every Stage of Confectionery
Production, Covered.
Confectionery runs on temperature control, precise inclusion ratios, and delicate product handling — chocolate that's too warm or too cold ruins the batch. We engineer around those realities.
-
Enrobing & Cooling Tunnel Integration
Automated enrobers apply consistent chocolate coating thickness, with integrated cooling tunnels holding precise temperature curves.
-
Inclusion & Ingredient Sorting
Optical sorting inspects nuts, dried fruit, and other inclusions for defects and foreign material before they enter the confection.
-
Precision Weighing & Portioning
Multi-head weighers and portioning systems ensure consistent piece counts and weights across every pack.
-
Delicate Product Packaging
Flow-wrap and tray-sealing systems handle fragile, temperature-sensitive confectionery product without breakage or bloom.
-
Case Packing & End-of-Line
Case erectors and sealers move finished trays and bags to cartons for retail and foodservice distribution.
-
Robotic Palletizing & Autonomous Hauling
Modular palletizing cells plus Cyngn autonomous tuggers and forklifts for complete facility material movement.
Your Confectionery Line, Automated
Full facility — one team, one project manager
Best-in-Class Technology,
Built for Delicate Product.
Confectionery product breaks, blooms, and bruises easily. We partner with equipment manufacturers who understand gentle handling at commercial speed.
Optical Sorting — 3U Vision Fenix
4K multi-spectral optical sorting inspects nuts, dried fruit, and other inclusions for mold, insect damage, and foreign material before they reach the confection line.
Metal Detection & X-Ray — Cassel Inspection
Cassel Inspection's metal detection and X-ray systems are calibrated for dense chocolate and layered confectionery product without false rejects.
Packaging Machinery — PFM
PFM Group's flow-wrap and tray-sealing systems handle delicate confectionery product gently, preserving shape and finish through packaging.
Robotic Palletizing — Focus Integration
CARBON and CUBE robotic palletizing systems handle confectionery cases with gentle, custom tooling built to prevent product damage during palletizing.
Enrobing, Tempering & Cooling Integration
Custom integration with chocolate enrobers, tempering machines, and cooling tunnels — engineered to hold the tight temperature curves confectionery product requires.
End-of-Line — OK International
Case erectors and case sealers built for the lightweight, delicate cartons typical of confectionery distribution.
Autonomous Vehicles — Cyngn DriveMod
AI-powered autonomous tuggers and forklifts that eliminate repetitive hauling labor across your confectionery facility — indoors and out, no infrastructure changes required. Customers average a 33% productivity increase and 64% reduction in hauling labor costs.
Custom Fabrication — GWI
Ghazarian Welding Inc. designs custom conveying and surge systems built for delicate, temperature-sensitive confectionery product handling.
Bag Closing — Union Special
Union Special's bag closing systems support bulk foodservice and multi-pack formats for confectionery product moving to club and bulk channels.
The Numbers That
Change Everything.
When your monthly equipment payment is less than what you save in labor, the system pays for itself from day one. Automation isn't a cost — it's a compounding investment.
"Confectionery is unforgiving — product bloom, breakage, and inconsistent inclusions used to eat our margins. Automating the sort and weigh steps fixed both."
— Chandler Automation Customer, Confectionery ManufacturerAutonomous Material
Handling, Built In.
Every Chandler Automation project can include Cyngn's AI-powered autonomous tuggers and forklifts — eliminating repetitive hauling labor across your confectionery facility, indoors and out, with no infrastructure changes required.
Deploy a fully autonomous tugger train to automate repetitive confectionery hauling across your facility — from processing through packaging to the outbound dock. Travels inside and outside. No magnetic strips or special infrastructure required.
- Fully electric — AC brushless motor, regenerative braking
- Auto-unhitch feature — no human needed to release carts
- Indoor & outdoor operation, no infrastructure changes
- Remote fleet management via DriveMod FMS dashboard
- Manual override mode — human can take control anytime
- Multi-layer collision avoidance and Virtual Bumper safety
Autonomously lift and haul heavy confectionery bags, bins, or pallets — including non-standard pallet sizes common in ag operations. AI and computer vision analyze pallet dimensions in real time, enabling precise lifts without human intervention.
- AI computer vision detects non-standard & custom pallet sizes
- Intelligent load stability — no sudden jerks or balance disruption
- Multi-layer safety: deep learning + collision avoidance
- Indoor & outdoor operation, no magnetic strips or floor tape
- Remote monitoring and mission dispatch via Fleet Management System
- Manual mode switchover — human takes control instantly
Both DriveMod vehicles are managed through Cyngn's Enterprise Autonomy Suite — a unified fleet management platform that lets you monitor, dispatch, and optimize your autonomous vehicles from anywhere in your facility. Chandler Automation handles the full integration into your confectionery workflow.
