Based in 1996 and based mostly in <\/span>Gimpo<\/span><\/strong>, Korea Filter Engineering manufactures industrial filters utilized in electrical discharge machining (EDM).<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Trade: Industrial filter manufacturing<\/span><\/li>\n
- Staff: 15<\/span><\/li>\n
- Every day palletizing load (earlier than automation): ~4 tons<\/span><\/li>\n
- Field weight: 10\u201320 kg<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With a lean workforce and rising demand, guide palletizing turned a manufacturing bottleneck.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/span>The problem: Handbook palletizing of heavy packing containers<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"IMG_2612\"](\"https:\/\/blog.robotiq.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Case%20Studies\/Korea%20Filter%20Engineering\/IMG_2612.jpg?width=616&height=348&name=IMG_2612.jpg\")

Earlier than automation, employees manually lifted and stacked roughly <\/span>4 tons of product per day<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\nKey points included:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>1. Ergonomic threat and employee fatigue<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Repetitive lifting of 20 kg packing containers<\/span><\/li>\n
- Again, shoulder, and muscle pressure<\/span><\/li>\n
- Growing old workforce growing harm threat<\/span><\/li>\n
- Fatigue affecting morale and consistency<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>2. Productiveness limitations<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Every day output capped at 200 packing containers<\/span><\/li>\n
- Delays attributable to bodily pressure and absenteeism<\/span><\/li>\n
- Problem sustaining constant throughput<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>3. Failed options<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nEarlier lifting aids have been examined however operations repeatedly reverted to totally guide palletizing attributable to complexity or inefficiency.<\/span><\/p>\nThe corporate wanted an answer that was:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Compact<\/span><\/li>\n
- Steady<\/span><\/li>\n
- Straightforward to function<\/span><\/li>\n
- Secure for human-robot collaboration<\/span><\/li>\n
- Fast to deploy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

In early 2025, Korea Filter Engineering chosen the Robotiq PE20 palletizer built-in with the UR20 collaborative robotic.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Why this palletizing system?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Handles packing containers as much as 20 kg<\/span><\/li>\n
- Helps as much as 20 SKUs<\/span><\/li>\n
- Most pallet peak: 2130 mm (84 in)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Compact footprint for space-constrained amenities<\/span><\/li>\n
- Works alongside workers with out intensive security fencing<\/span><\/li>\n
- Intuitive interface requiring minimal coaching<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>Quick deployment timeline<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Early 2025: Analysis<\/span><\/li>\n
- March 2025: Citation<\/span><\/li>\n
- Could 2025: Set up and launch<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Minimal structure adjustments have been required. The system built-in seamlessly with the present conveyor.<\/span><\/p>\nOperators have been capable of study and run the system inside minutes, decreasing dependency on specialised robotics experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/span>Outcomes: Measurable positive aspects in productiveness and security<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>1. 30% manufacturing enhance<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Output elevated from 200 to 250 packing containers per day<\/span><\/li>\n
- Greater throughput with out growing headcount<\/span><\/li>\n
- Improved supply reliability<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>2. Improved employee well being and security<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Damage-related absences practically halved<\/span><\/li>\n
- Employee fatigue diminished by greater than 50%<\/span><\/li>\n
- Zero office incidents since set up<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Younger-Hun Yoo, Assistant Supervisor in Manufacturing, shared:<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cAfter utilizing the robotic, our our bodies are more healthy, and we really feel much less drained\u2014lower than half in comparison with earlier than. We’ve extra vitality left for our households after work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>3. Workforce optimization<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- One full-time worker reassigned to higher-value duties<\/span><\/li>\n
- Much less bodily pressure, extra operational focus<\/span><\/li>\n
- Stronger crew morale<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
