Puzzleyou is a custom photo jigsaw puzzle manufacturer located in Williamsport, PA. Recent growth has presented manufacturing challenges relating to handling of the die-cut puzzles, which is currently done by hand. We seek to develop an automated solution that can load and unload die-cut puzzles (and box tops) at a rate of up to one every 3 seconds into a state-of-the-art high speed printer. The system will integrate with existing IT & mechanical infrastructure to select the proper puzzle blank size and route the puzzle (and box top) to the correct location. We are looking for an innovative design and proof of concept that can be scaled as the demand increases.
