Cost-effective Robotic Palletizer Reduces Labor and Waste for Loose and Bundled Stacks of Carton Blanks
A packaging manufacturer of paperboard cartons and corrugated containers was continuing their efforts to reduce labor costs with automation. They have purchased robotic palletizers from Flexicell for two lines, one palletizing shrink-wrapped bundles and the other palletizing open-top cases. These systems have proven to be a great success in reducing labor, increasing the consistency of pallet loads, and functioning at a higher operational efficiency.
When More Is Better: Flexible Palletizing Solution for Large Food Manufacturer
A large manufacturer of sauces and food toppings needed to automate palletization for 6 production lines in their Canadian facility. A centralized palletizing system seemed like the best solution because they could use one robot on multiple lines; however, the lines were not near enough to each other for this to be practical. To keep the footprint relatively small, Flexicell suggested an alternative method, which…
Reducing Labor Costs and Increasing Palletizing Efficiency for a Petroleum Refinery
A petroleum refinery had numerous troubles with their palletizing operation. Their employees were loading the heavy packages, which could weigh up to 45 pounds, by hand. The weight made the process difficult due to the potential for injury. The company also needed to increase production. Their palletizing system needed to be capable of handling two very different products simultaneously: cases and 20-liter plastic pails. Whereas…
Personal Care Products Manufacturer Reduces Labor with Case Packing and Palletizing Automation
A personal care products manufacturer needed to increase their production volume. They decided to combine two moderate-speed tube fillers into one line and install a new high-speed tube filler as a second line. The new filler would be capable of producing the same volume of tubes as the two existing tube fillers combined, effectively doubling production. The manufacturer had been case packing and palletizing their…
