Robotic packaging solutions

Many industries after the processing of their products either transport them within their states or ship them to other countries. It is cumbersome packaging and transporting the products. That is why many industries palletize their goods before shipping. For many years, human labor took centre stage in packing goods into pallets and loading them into waiting trucks for transportation to other countries or to the ports.

Loading the products also requires other equipment other than human labor. Forklifts are the most commonly tools used to load the pallets into their respective means of transportation. However, things have since changed since the introduction of special palletizing machines and an effective palletizing robot assembly.

One of the leading manufacturers of palletizing robot assembly is Universal Robots. The highly customized robotic arms are easy to program and come in different shapes and sizes. They have arms that make the work easier for both the human workers and the company management. More and more manual work became a lot easier to do because the robots can control the whole exercise from start to finish.

Benefits of using the robot assembly for palletizing

Majority of the industries that have taken up the use of robotic arms for palletizing have better workflow than they did before. Below are other benefits that come with robotic arms palletizing

·        Reduces costs

Packaging, loading and unloading requires a lot of manual labor. The exercise also takes up a lot of the company’s expenditure to cover for overheads. Because some of the products have a short-life span, it means employing as many people as possible in order to get the load off the business to its destination very fast. With the deployment of robotic arms, you can cut down on these costs because one robotic arm alone can carry out the tasks meant for many humans to carry out.

·        Reduces repetitive work

Some of the tasks in palletizing are very repetitive which becomes monotonous and boring to the staff. Robotics can take over these repetitive tasks and the management can redeploy the staff to take over other tasks.

·        Safety

Some industries deal with very heavy products. Others deal with hazardous products. By deploying robotics arms to take over the packaging and palletizing of these products, you are not only protecting the safety of your workers but their health too. This also cuts down on any amounts of costs you may use to take of accidents at the work place.

·        Space reduction

Robotic arms use very limited space. Without them, you will need bigger spaces to accommodate the workers and other tools. You can use the extra space for other activities or reduce the space all together thus saving you more costs.

·        Flexibility

Robotic arms are very flexible and can take on both large and small jobs. If you have small volume production, then a robotic arm can easily take care of that. If you increase the volume of your production, the same robotic arm can adjust to take care of that too. This is because the robotic arm is easily adjustable because of its flexible design, size and weight.

UR robots can also work in any environment. They do not corrode and no weather conditions will make them change their look. Therefore, whether it is hot, humid or dry, you can rely on them to deliver.

·        Increases productivity

UR robots can work non-stop for 24/7, all year round without taking a break. You can use them as many times as you want without affecting the production quality and quantity. This leads to more production and a larger ROI.

Wrapping it up

If you are looking for the best palletizing tool, then you need to think about the UR robot assembly. They are cost effective, user friendly, safe and easy to deploy for whatever task you want. They are collaborative robots and work well alongside humans without causing any harm or interferences. Streamline your palletizing standards by deploying cobots into your work place.
