Customer used manual labor to palletize by hand since the line was created. They were looking for opportunities to reallocate the labor to other places in the factory because new employees are hard to come by.
Our solution was a robotic palletizer that is modular in design. They can add to it as their needs change. Current design is a dual pallet position floor level palletizing robot with a FANUC M410iC. As their needs change, they can opt to add in over/under pallet conveyors to save time and effort on the pallet exchanges, or they can opt to add in a pallet dispenser and pallet conveyor to automate the pallet transfer process completely.
This modular palletizing concept allows the customer to grow into the full automation capabilities of a more complex palletizing cell by adding to it but can start out as simple as building the pallets at floor level. We created enough space in the layout and in the control cabinet to add components to the line easily as their needs grow.
