Common Pain Points in Food and Beverage Packaging

Understanding the challenges faced by manufacturers in the food and beverage industry is crucial. Key pain points include:

Supply Chain Challenges: Manufacturers may experience limited access to essential raw materials, spare parts, and maintenance items. Forming trusted partnerships can help mitigate these risks amid current supply chain disruptions.
Labor Shortages: A widening skills gap in manufacturing could lead to a shortage of skilled workers. Companies need strategies to attract and retain talent to remain competitive.
E-commerce Upsurge: With a growing preference for online ordering, optimizing equipment and data management processes is no longer optional. Our solutions can seamlessly integrate powerful tracking tools into your operations.
Regulatory Compliance: Staying compliant with waste disposal regulations, plastic bans, and demonstrating transparency in sourcing materials is essential. We can help you navigate these requirements.

Optimizing Food and Beverage Operations with a Dual-Function Robotic Palletizer

In this video, we showcase a custom robotic palletizing solution designed specifically for a food and beverage manufacturer. This customer sought to enhance their palletizing operations following upstream changes, aiming for a single, efficient system capable of handling both bulk glass bottles and cases simultaneously on the same production line.

Our engineering team delivered an adaptable, all-in-one solution featuring:

A 1-to-4 leaning system that efficiently splits single-file bottles into multiple lines for streamlined processing
A dedicated robotic sweep system that assembles full pallets of bulk glass bottles
Integrated functionality for both bottle and case palletizing, ensuring versatility and efficiency

This upgrade not only improved throughput for our customer but also reduced manual handling and optimized floor space, contributing to a more efficient operation in the food and beverage sector.

Benefits of AMR and Cobot Integrations

Integrating Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Collaborative Robots (cobots) into your operations offers numerous advantages:

Labor Reduction: Automation optimizes material handling and allows a more effective use of labor, especially important in light of rising labor costs.
Data Collection: Our systems enable comprehensive data collection through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), enhancing visibility and informing strategic decisions.
Consistency in Processes: Automation ensures speed and accuracy in manufacturing, reducing variability and enhancing product quality.
Enhanced Safety: Implementing AMRs and cobots can improve working conditions for your human workforce by taking on physically demanding tasks and minimizing safety risks.
Improved Ergonomics: By shifting strenuous physical tasks to robots, we help mitigate ergonomic risks and create safer workplaces.
