Robot palletiser set to revolutionise robotic uptake
Omron and Reeco have taken collaborative robotics innovation to the next level with the development of the RB1200 cobot palletiser that costs up to 50% less and has a 60% smaller footprint than a conventional robot palletiser. These game-changing metrics have a radical impact on project payback, making end-of-line robotic automation economically attractive to producers of all sizes for the first time.
Although a mainstay of FMCG production lines for many years, robot palletisers take up considerable floor space, are complex to specify and programme, and are almost impossible to redeploy to another location, making them cost-prohibitive for many SMEs. In contrast, Reeco and Omron’s RB1200 cobot palletiser is a compact plug-and-play system that can be easily switched between lines. This ensures users can maximise their investment by providing flexibility to cope with rapid changes in demand across the factory.
Reeco managing director Llewelyn Rees said: “The cobot palletiser is an off-the-shelf, market-ready solution that represents great value for money, with no hidden costs in design or engineering.”
