Can Cobot Packaging and Cobot Palletizing Improve Your End-of-Line Packaging Performance?
In today’s manufacturing economy labor issues have become a costly challenge. These challenges are typically found with monotonous tasks and require repetitive motions which can lead to injury. With labor in short supply, people simply don’t want to consider and/or perform these boring tasks. This has led companies to seek automation solutions.
Automation solutions have quickly evolved, in response to this demand, with technological advancements. Cobot and Robotic machinery helps and allows companies to resolve the labor shortages while increasing their flexibility to quickly adapt to market demands.
Cobots are ideal for CASE ERECTING. Where limited space is an issue and non-traditional box sizes need to be erected, Cobots are flexible, quick to implement and easy to program in minutes. In addition, Cobots are ideal for low to medium volume CASE PACKING, easy to program and cross train your employees. Lastly, Cobots are great for PALLETIZING slower or manual lines that produce new, promotional, or surfacing products.
What is a Collaborative Robot (Cobot)?
A collaborative robot, also known as a cobot, is an industrial robot that can safely operate alongside humans in a shared workspace. In contrast, autonomous robots are hard-coded to repeatedly perform one task, work independently and remain stationary.
Advances in mobile technology, artificial intelligence (AI), machine vision, cognitive computing and touch technology are making it possible for small, lower-power robots to be aware of their surroundings and perform multiple types of tasks safely in close proximity to human workers. In addition to being programmed to protect the safety of their human coworkers, cobots can quickly learn tasks through demonstration and reinforcement learning.
Due to shortages of qualified workers and increasing labor costs, the market for cobots continues to grow. According to analysts, the global collaborative robot market is set to grow 20-30% annually between 2025-26.
