Let us help you connect High Performance Robots with conveyors, machines, software and other equipment for a special manufacturing or material handling operation.
Many people think that Robots are too expensive for all but the largest, most automated operations. In fact, that's not the case. While the cost of many other types of equipment has steadily increased over the past decade, robot technology has actually remained stable. Plus: the costs of the alternatives: personnel, utilities, all increased over the same period.
Automation is the use of self-operated physical machines, computer software, and other technologies to perform tasks normally performed by humans. This process is designed to automatically follow a predefined sequence of operations or respond to coded instructions.
Robotics is the design, creation and use of robots to perform tasks. These are physical robots that replace or copy human actions.
Join us to learn about the use of Robots in picking, packing and unloading pallets.
Robotic palletizing loads different objects, from cartons to pallets. This is usually from a single line and follows a defined pattern, using a variety of end effects to complete the mission.
Operations ranging from the assembly, food processor, distribution center or order fulfillment department of a manufacturing facility can benefit from robotic palletizing due to inherent increase in accuracy and speed.
* Benefits of robotic palletizing system
- Efficient production:
Robotic systems can work multiple shifts and allow you to increase production without increasing labor costs. Your costs plummet while you increase throughput
- You can depend on the robotic system:
Today's robots are extremely reliable, especially when compared to outdated manual systems. They also compare well to conventional pallets in terms of system uptime and reliability
- Cut the cost:
The problem many operations have with robotic systems is that they are very expensive to perform. However, manual operating costs get higher over time. Robots can often reduce labor by up to 3 people per shift, allowing for more shifts and reducing product spoilage
- Safer, more convenient operation:
Loading and unloading is hard work. Usually, the issue is when will you face workers compensation issues, injuries or missed production due to these issues.
- Operational flexibility:
Almost any product can be handled by a variety of end equipment or tools. You can add new products, change the pallet model or change the payload as needed. When things change, the robots can be reconfigured to change with them and it's not difficult to move.
Humans are not built for repetitive motion. They tire, they make mistakes, they slow down, and they develop physical problems after repeating the same movements over time. Picking is a very un-ergonomic activity, so minimizing its worst aspects is key for any organization where injury, speed, and productivity are concerned. And it is also the most economical way to carry out these operations.
Humans are relatively slow when compared to the speed and accuracy that a robot picking system can provide. When you take a component from point A to point B, transition and move in a similar range, robotic selectors gain a tremendous advantage over manual solutions. High speed, robotic picking systems also become more affordable compared to the high cost of manual solutions.
With modern vision systems, conveyor tracking technology, and agile, precise robots that can pick and place at speeds up to 200 per minute, it is increasingly clear that a robotic solution must be viewed. Review for fast, competitive operations.
* Benefits when choosing by Robot
- Robots are programmed to select products for loading or unloading
- Multiple operations can be performed at the same time by running double selection lines
- Save money when buying low value labor hours
- Shift workers to higher value tasks
- Helps prevent injury from repetitive motion activities
Packaging systems can automate end-of-line processes to optimize the packaging of virtually any commodity. These systems can make your packaging application faster, more efficient, more flexible, and more precise while reducing operating costs.
* Advantages or boxes of robot packing:
- Flexibility when packing:
When your chain is responsible for a variety of loads, stiffness is not an option. Often, these applications require a complex integration that may have made robotics too expensive or difficult in the past.
Today, with tool advancements, you can pack loads that vary by type, size or other factors into cartons or other vehicles and rely on a high degree of efficiency.
- Speed:
The robot wastes no motion or time when filling product containers. They require no breaks, don't need to be home for dinner, and allow for shift flexibility like never before. They can place loads faster than humans can and with great accuracy.
- Exactly in case of packing:
We are only human and we are prone to make mistakes. The robot doesn't have that problem - with precise programming, an intuitive recognition system and setup, the packaging robot can outstrip its manual alternatives.
- Cost savings:
Automation cuts costs, clear and simple, across the board and across the enterprise. In packaging systems, whether in distribution or factory applications, this is amplified because robotic systems reduce high levels of manual involvement, low added value. Labor and insurance costs can be radically reduced. Robots don't get sick or take leave, making your operations more likely to schedule production without as many "moving parts" as a manual system can produce. The result is a less expensive, more efficient case encapsulation system.
Automation costs are falling, while labor, land, energy and other costs are rising. Using Robots in pallet picking, packing, and unloading operations becomes essential to cut costs, reduce errors and increase throughput.
