New system, a collaboration with Yaskawa Motoman, utilizes advanced vision systems and intelligent software algorithms to accurately identify and handle diverse products.
Though a lot of modern equipment available on the market today can come pretty close, the assumption that a single tool can be a cure-all is an unrealistic one. Automation and robotics have become indispensable in modern manufacturing and warehousing, driving efficiency, productivity, and cost savings. But with so many variables in play, it can be overwhelming to determine where to start.
Cobotics brings several advantages to palletizing: a small footprint on the ground, flexibility by the possible movement of the equipment, and easy start-up and use.
While palletizing cartons is a regular automation application, doing so from a cold room (with regular cleaning done with hosed water) is a specific challenge. Motion Controls Robotics overcame these by using vacuum technology from Piab supplied by Neff Group Distributors.
