Realtime Robotics partners with Dematic to develop ‘new capabilities’ for mixed-case palletizing

by

Realtime Robotics, a developer of autonomous motion planning systems for industrial robots, has agreed a partnership with Dematic, a global intralogistics company.

The use of Realtime’s advanced multi-robot coordination and spatial perception technology paired with Dematic’s automated palletizing software will vastly improve the accuracy, cycle time and stability of mixed case palletizing cells.

In the hyper-competitive logistics space, solution providers are being challenged to reduce cost and time to deploy all while continuing to increase key productivity metrics. [Read more…] about Realtime Robotics partners with Dematic to develop ‘new capabilities’ for mixed-case palletizing

Effects of Commercial Robots in a Working Environment

by

Robots have begun taking over the manufacturing and processing tasks in industries. Research has revealed that the robot market is expected to grow. Various industries have started taking robots seriously and are considering them as avenues of pioneering automation in the future.

Industrial robots or rather commercial robots are excellent because they can excel in workspaces that had previously been occupied by manual operators and execute their previous chores more meticulously.

Commercial robots come with safety measures that allow manual operators to work around them without fear of getting injured. [Read more…] about Effects of Commercial Robots in a Working Environment

New Zealand automation company Aurora demonstrates and describes its robotic palletizing system

Palletizing equipment is a critical component of many end-of-line processes. Without the right system in place, inefficiencies and production downtime can harm your bottom line.

One of Aurora’s popular solutions is the Fuji-Ace Robotic Palletizer. Often cited as the most advanced palletizer in the world, it is a high-capacity, energy efficient, easy-to-use machine that is streamlining the processes of packing and manufacturing facilities across the world.

In the words of one satisfied customer, site engineer Kendell Chapman of Seales Window: “The output of the system has improved capabilities over our last system. [Read more…] about Kiwi automation company Aurora shows off its palletizing robot

Honeywell Intelligrated demonstrates connected palletizing solutions at Pack Expo

by

Honeywell Intelligrated is showcasing its connected solutions for automated palletizing equipment in end-of-line manufacturing environments at Pack Expo International in booth S-2560.

By leveraging data from machine-level sensors, the company provides real-time equipment monitoring, diagnostics and asset-level insights to boost reliability, throughput and performance.

These connected solutions analyze real-time and historic data to detect equipment conditions that could impact performance – such as excess motor vibration, temperature fluctuations or underutilization trends – and provide real-time alerts to help fix critical issues before they affect the entire production process.  [Read more…] about Honeywell Intelligrated demonstrates connected palletizing solutions at Pack Expo
