Palletizing processes today have become much more important and sophisticated, because, even when a production plant has excellent processes and practices, the operation can leave much to be desired if the palletizing is not correct or if it is not correct. it does not have a higher capacity than the rest of the production process.
The palletizing process can become the last successful step of the plant or be the bottleneck that generates problems in the delivery of the finished product. Hence the importance of having the latest cutting-edge technologies.
That is why today we will talk about the most innovative trend that is gaining momentum in palletizing solutions ... cobots!
Cobots: Latest generation palletizing systems
Cobots are collaborative robotic arms that are extremely friendly to their work environment, thanks to their intrinsic maximum security mechanisms.
Palletizing with cobots vs. conventional robotic palletizing
The difference between a palletizing system with cobots to a conventional robotic palletizing system is that the robots of the latter turn out to be very large and heavy, so security bars usually have to be used to prevent access to a certain perimeter where the robot is operating.
This, not to mention that its design is also somewhat basic, since it does not include torque sensors that allow it to stop in case of detecting any intrusion or human interaction.
In contrast, cobot palletizing solutions do include sophisticated sensor systems with robust programming that, upon detecting certain movements or interactivity, automatically stop their operation, resuming it once it is released.
In addition to the great benefit of operational safety, cobots for palletizing offer multiple advantages, among which the following stand out:
- Operation flexibility: Cobots are useful for other activities or processes
- Much shorter implementation times than traditional systems
- Significant space savings
- Minimal maintenance required
This is how cobot palletizing systems help to achieve greater productivity within production plants, boosting their competitiveness in a global market where technological innovations are growing by leaps and bounds.
