Palletizing products in preparation for shipment
This company supplies its space-saving robotpac articulated robot to palletize products in special bags, drums, canisters, cartons and buckets. The unit loads are stacked precisely on pallets and can then be conveyed to the downstream packaging system, the company’s stretch hood (photo). The stretch hood covers the palletized unit load with a highly elastic film, which protects the goods during handling and external storage, and against environmental influences such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, dust and moisture. The stretch hood also has a modular design. With the support of data analytics, for example, large amounts of data can be collected on the machines and evaluated in a targeted manner, thus revealing potential for improvement. With the information gained, operations can be continuously improved. This has a positive effect on the lifecycle costs. — Beumer Group GmbH & Co. KG, Beckum, Germany
