Robotiq launched the Lean Palletizing Experience, a breakthrough in the way manufactures start and scale automation projects.
Built on the principles of lean robotics, the Lean Palletizing Experience encompasses the entire automation digital-to-physical journey.
“The Lean Palletizing Experience is the next chapter in our mission to simplify automation. Manufacturers shouldn’t have to choose between speed and scalability; we’re giving them both. With the launch of PAL Ready and PAL Series, palletizing is no longer a complex project but a proven, repeatable experience. This marks a turning point for manufacturers who want to start fast and scale with confidence,” says Robotiq CEO Samuel Bouchard.
Key takeaways:
· The Lean Palletizing Experience starts in the digital world, using Robotiq’s Palletizing Fit Tool to validate applications and its Online Configurator to design layouts.
· The experience transitions to the physical realm as manufacturers can see Robotiq palletizing solutions in action.
· The Lean Palletizing Experience concludes with one or more Robotiq palletizing solutions improving productivity on the customer’s factory floor.
· Throughout the experience, manufacturers have a clear roadmap to automate their end-of-line operations with structured, repeatable deployment; unified tools and workflows; a scalable architecture that grows with business needs; digital-first validation before deployment; production-ready and scalable options; and a consistent operator experience across sites.
· PAL Ready is said tob e the industry’s first fully production-ready palletizing cell. It’s assembled, tested, and ready to run upon arrival. Designed for rapid deployment, it includes Robotiq Smart Infeed for seamless box handling and upstream communication; mobility features to switch between lines or enable quick factory cleaning; safety scanners for compliance and worker protection; and Robotiq PowerPick Multi Vacuum Gripper for versatile picking.
· PAL Series PAL Series delivers modular palletizing through configurable standard models and modules. Manufacturers can start small and scale to multiple cells or multi-site deployments, all with the same, thanks to software, operator interface, design logic, and building blocks.
