Can a cobot palletiser keep up with our line speed?

We size the cell to your peak cases-per-minute target, including SKU mix and pallet pattern complexity. If a cobot is not the right fit, we will tell you and propose an industrial alternative.

How do you handle different SKUs and pallet patterns?

Patterns and SKU recipes are managed from a simple HMI so line operators can switch without engineering support.

Is the cell suitable for a hygiene-sensitive area?

Yes. We specify materials, guarding and wash-down requirements to match the area the cell will work in.

Overview

Rising labour cost and recruitment pressure are squeezing food and beverage manufacturers. We design end-of-line automation that pays back quickly, removes repetitive lifting and lets your team switch SKUs without specialist support.

Challenges

The problems in food and beverage.

01Rising end-of-line labour cost and agency spend.
02Repetitive palletising causing manual handling injuries.
03Throughput and hygiene pressure on every shift.
04Hard to recruit and retain people for repetitive roles.

Solutions

How we automate food and beverage.

01

Palletising

Compact UR palletising cells that pack at maximum cycles per minute.

02

Case Packing

Collate loose products and pack them into outer cases reliably.

03

Dispensing

Gluing, sealing, spraying and painting with repeatable accuracy.

Proof

What this looks like in practice.

Case study

Confidential, food and beverage

— Challenge

End-of-line palletising was driving high agency labour spend and repetitive strain injuries, while line throughput kept rising.

— Solution

We installed a small-footprint cobot palletising cell sized to peak CPM, integrated with the existing case conveyor and pallet dispenser. Recipes were set up so line operators can switch SKUs from an HMI.

— Measured results

Cases palletised per shift: Pending
Manual handling events: Pending
Labour cost per pallet: Pending

Figures confirmed at customer sign-off.

Cost & payback

An honest view on cost and ROI.

Cost depends on your parts, shift pattern and what you're replacing. We'll model payback openly with you before you commit to anything, and tell you clearly when automation isn't the right fit.
