On other occasions we have talked about the multiple benefits of implementing a robotic palletizing system in your production plant, but how about today we are talking about the latest technology in palletizing systems?
As part of the evolution that Industry 4.0 has brought, a new range of solutions focused on the use of cobots has emerged within robotic palletizing. Cobots? So is!
Cobots are collaborative robots in which the safety of operators is maximized due to the standards with which it is designed. As we well know, conventional robotic palletizing systems used to pose a high level of risk of injury to any worker if they did not strictly adhere to safety standards.
However, cobots now give operators the ability to work around the robot without added security, as the cobot intrinsically brings protection to operators.
Advantages of a palletizing system with cobots
- Quick implementation
- Fewer number of security elements required, which translates into savings in operating costs
- Lower startup times, due to its ease of programming. It is extremely simple human-machine interfaces ensure that configuration changes are carried out without so much level of specialization
- Less maintenance
Although it is true that, at the moment, the speed of execution and the diversity of load handling are lower than that of conventional robotic palletizing (maximum load of cobots = 16 kg.), There is no doubt that cobots will lead the palletizing solutions market in the not too distant future.
Therefore, the time for transformation is today!
