Palletizers have been around for the better of the century with applications in the warehousing and packaging industries. These systems work closely with conveyor systems that transport materials from one point to another before turning and rotating to form rows. Once they meet the required number, the rows are gently pushed onto a layer-forming table and stacked onto pallets.
What is an Automatic Robot Palletizing System?
An automatic robot palletizing system is an upgrade to the conventional palletizer, as it is programmed to stack products onto pallets. Yu can also use them to depalletize, making them essential equipment in production lines.
These systems outshine their counterparts by performing several other functions, including handing high-SKU in multi-line operations, turning boxes for display, and stacking ails and bags. Bot palletizing systems are also tasked with rotating products making their throughput more variable compared to traditional palletizers.
Benefits of Using a Robot Palletizing System
Improved Safety
Automated robot palletizing systems eliminate human labor, thus reducing workplace injuries such as sprains and overexertion. Manually stacking and arranging products in pallets increases the risk of injuries.
Reduces Human Error
Automated robotic palletizing systems reduce human contact with the product, lowering human errors due to exhaustion. The machines are programmed to handle specific amounts of products, stacking them in pre-determined positions without the risk of damage to goods.
Increased Production
Robots are relatively faster and more efficient compared to human labor, plus they don’t need frequent breaks or leaves. With this property, they are able to get more work done, in turn, increasing output.
An automated palletizing system is one of the best ways to increase productivity and boost efficiency in your warehouse or packaging plant. For more information about automatic robot palletizers, contact Conveyor & Automation Technologies, Inc.
