Business Challenge
In order to take advantage of the expertise in CAULK production, the company had to solve some tasks that interfere with growth and efficiency.
- Liberation: In order to operate the Palettic Paleti, there is a dedicated worker for each line, especially on the two shifts.
- Spatial constraints: The initial consideration of the centralized Palething System showed that these solutions spent too much space and needed a wide range of conveyor routing.
- Costs and risks: The centralized system requires the addition of important re -arrangements and expensive conveyor systems. Introducing a single failure point in the production flow. The centralized cell requires an industrial robot with a log range and a safety fence and consumes a lot of precious floor spaces. When the centralized Paletizer goes down, all the lines stop. The high Cadence and Payrods of the system are very difficult to temporarily replace them with problems.
- Flexibility demand: The company needs a solution that can handle multiple case size and direction, guaranteeing adaptability to various product lines.
Why is RobotiQ a palletizing solution suitable?
After exploring the options, the manufacturer chose a palette solution for its unique advantages.
- Small footprints: Unlike the bulky central system, our solution has provided a small footprint that perfectly suits the existing settings.
- Convenience: Intuitive software functions, such as advanced trajectory plans and simulation tools, enable fast distribution and minimal operator training.
- Cost efficiency: The solution for less than two years is perfect for the financial goal.
- Expansion: The function of implementing each solution line provides a management path for fully automation without overwhelming resources.
- Recovery: Even if a line goes down, the rest of the factory is still produced. In addition, lower Cadence allows temporarily assigning paletting labor while the system is re -produced.
- Regional support: Cooperation with local partners ensures smooth integration, including custom conveyor design and gripper configuration for optimal performance.
Tips for automation
The business that explores automation has the main takeout of this success story.
- Small start: Distribute automation one by one to minimize risks and achieve early victory. The first system proves a value to scaly. This is one of our principles Lean Robot Engineering methodology.
- Focus on ROI: Priority of solutions that provide fast and measurable profits, such as Robotiq’s Palletization System.
- Flexibility selection: Choose an adaptable system that can handle a variety of product requirements without major reconstruction.
- Partner with experts: Cooperate with reliable suppliers and local partners to ensure smooth implementation and continuous support.
- Think “outside the box”: Do not overlook the final process, such as Palething, when looking for an automation opportunity. Such tasks often calculate significant ergonomic and efficiency benefits.
conclusion
The journey of this coke manufacturer emphasizes the variation of automation. By selecting Robotiq’s Palletization solution, we have unlocked labor problems, optimizes efficiency, and unlocked the scalable growth opportunities.
