Smarter palletizing with robots
They say work smarter, not harder. Palletizing robots have revolutionised the way factories and manufacturers not only operate but yielded unexpected benefits to manual workforce. Incorporating palletizing robots within your business as part of your production line means you can capitalise on increased output while minimising costs. As one of the world’s leading innovators, Yaskawa is an expert in efficient production.
What are palletizing robots?
Palletizing robots are precisely what they say on the box: automated machines used for high-volume production on manufacturing plants. Robots serve a variety of purposes and have been developed to perform tasks quickly and accurately, minimising the need for manual intervention or operation. Palletizing robots are utilized to load, offload, and organize pallets and the products they themselves organize. They operate with loads that are far greater than manual labour is able to at a fraction of the time. They are used to manoeuvre and navigate the production line, packing, unpacking, and stacking product seamlessly.
Why you should automate your manufacturing process with robots
Deciding to incorporate robots into your business needn’t require much persuasion as the benefits exceeds the (mis)perceived hassle. Installation is quick and, unlike the need to train a workforce, operation can begin almost immediately. Other advantages include:
- Cost-effectiveness
The right palletizing robot will no doubt save you money in the long run. But the economical offerings are plentiful, such as reducing the cost of manual labour. Additionally, with shorter turnaround times, you will be able to produce higher volumes in a shorter time frame. Due to modern innovation, the longevity of technology and software is optimised, needing fewer expenditures when it comes to repairs and improvements.
- Productivity
Automated production lines operated by palletizing robots increase productivity and ultimate output. Higher volumes can be produced whilst reducing manufacturing time. Which leads us to our next benefit:
- Time efficiency
More products can be palletized in a shorter amount of time with a robotic solution and as mentioned, can drastically increase total output. This also offers an opportunity for manual labour to engage in more fulfilling tasks, and presumably tasks that can’t be manned by a robot, so to speak.
- Safety
Palletizing is a strenuous job and may result in injuries of a manual workforce should operation be dealt with incorrectly or irresponsibly. With the help of a robotic palletizer, you can also prevent errors and damaged products due to manual mishandling.
Why is using robotic palletizers a smarter solution?
The convenience and practicalities of robotic palletizers speak for itself. Using this solution is a smart way to better your production line and increase cost saving. It aids employees in completing their tasks and can be programmed to your specific needs with the option to see the process in action before you implement. Introducing robots will make it easier for you to increase your output as it’s automated and takes less time.
