Formic’s Post

Are you looking to try a cobot without the commitment? 🤔 Through a partnership with Formic, you can now try out an end-of-line beRobox #PALTZ palletizer powered by Doosan Robotics for three months with no commitment. The team at Formic will install this RaaS solution, cover all maintenance and provide 24/7 monitoring and support for just $4,750 per month. If you decide to keep this integration after the trial, Formic will draft a RaaS contract to allow continuous automation for your end-of-line palletizing needs. 📦 There has never been a better time to explore the benefits of automation. If you’re looking to increase productivity, enhance safety and lower labor costs, click the link and start your trial! ⤵ #Formic, #DoosanRobotics #Palletizing #Automation #Cobot

Automatic Palletizing of Compound Feed and Premixes Our team recently implemented an interesting automation project for palletizing bags with compound feed and premixes and wrapping the pallets with products. We leveraged an industrial KUKA robot for pallet forming with filled bags and an automatic Robopac Technoplat 2000 stretch wrapper to pack the pallets. A challenge we faced was the building's height limit of just 3.2m.  Through precise synchronization of the components, we achieved maximum efficiency and optimal pallet geometry on the pallets for all types of product compound feed and premixes, while fitting all elements into the smallest possible footprint. And like many times before, the Robopac pallet wrapper performed flawlessly in stabilizing the palletized load. Introducing automation significantly boosted productivity, improved filled pallet quality, and cargo stability regardless of the type of animal feed. We plan to continue enhancing our processes with state-of-the-art solutions that have repeatedly proven their benefits in feed production. I specified that the bags contain compound feed and premixes, and emphasized that the automation solutions worked for both types of animal feed.

🔧 Manufacturers often tout the simplicity of cobot setup, promising quick integration into existing workflows with minimal fuss... However, the reality on the shop floor can present a different story. 👉Despite the advancements in user-friendly interfaces and plug-and-play technology, several challenges still present themselves when integrating a new cobot into your operations, such as: 1. Complex programming needs 2. Integration with existing systems 3. Safety considerations 4. Optimal positioning and fixturing 5. Training for staff 6. Expectation vs. reality Read more below!

Mark you calendars for next week Tuesday, March 26th, when Visual Components will have its OLP Webinar, in cooperation with Bunorm Maschinenbau AG and Berlin Gardens LLC , discussing how they use our #Robotics OLP software to significantly reduce #robotprogramming (= 85% reduction!) and tackle challenging #welding projects and non-destructive testing of welds. #roboticwelding #weldingrobotics #weldingrobots #offlineprogramming #weldingautomation #weldingsolutions #weldingtechnology #robotprogramming #yaskawa

Check out this example of cobot welding! 💥 With the integration of collaborative robots in the welding industry, welders can now work in a safe proximity to potentially dangerous welding-related risks. Thanks to these technologies, companies can provide safer working conditions for their welders. 💯 One of the good examples of this technology comes from our British partner, Cobots Online. 🇬🇧 CoboWeld from Cobots Online offers an excellent solution when it comes to human-centric manufacturing, which prioritizes safety by having machines work closely with human operators. ✅ Empowered with SmoothTool software #CoboWeld takes on physically demanding and potentially hazardous welding tasks, ensuring worker safety and seamless automation. 🤖 Stay tuned for more application videos, as we continue to showcase capabilities of this technology! 👀🎥 #WeldingInnovation #CobotWelding #SafetyFirst

In recent years, automatic palletizing has resolved many of the issues that once required manual work. 🙌 This automated practice typically falls into one of three categories: robotic palletizing, low-level layer palletizing, and high-level layer palletizing. CRG Automation has extensive expertise in all three. Depending on speed and space, an automatic pallet dispenser, slip-sheet dispenser or tier-sheet dispenser can be integrated into the palletizing process. We can help you select the correct palletizing solution for your application and integrate it successfully into your overall packaging system, as robotic palletizers are a key piece of equipment that must communicate correctly with your conveying system!
