<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nA premium Italian producer of chocolate, pastries, and snacks lately confronted this precise scenario.<\/span><\/p>\nTheir setup was easy \u2014 however limiting:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- 1 operator per palletizing station<\/span><\/li>\n
- \u20ac40,000\/yr labor price<\/span><\/li>\n
- 1 shift, 1 line<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Scaling manufacturing meant just one factor:<\/span>
<\/span>\u27a1\ufe0f <\/span>Hiring extra operators<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nHowever in at present\u2019s labor market, that\u2019s:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Costly<\/span><\/li>\n
- Unreliable<\/span><\/li>\n
- Exhausting to maintain long-term<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So that they requested a greater query:<\/span><\/p>\n\ud83d\udc49 <\/span>\u201cHow can we enhance output with out rising labor?\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>The appliance: typical (and difficult) meals trade constraints<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nThis wasn\u2019t a distinct segment use case. It\u2019s precisely what many producers cope with every day:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- \ud83d\udce6 Cardboard containers as much as 17 kg<\/span><\/li>\n
- \u26a1 6\u201310 picks per minute<\/span><\/li>\n
- \ud83d\udccf Pallets as much as 1,700 mm<\/span><\/li>\n
- \ud83e\udde9 Interlayers required<\/span><\/li>\n
- \ud83d\udd04 Packing containers arriving by way of conveyor, persistently oriented<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In different phrases:<\/span><\/p>\n\ud83d\udc49 <\/span>Too demanding for handbook scaling<\/span><\/strong>
<\/span><\/strong>\ud83d\udc49 However historically seen as too complicated for versatile automation<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>The answer: Robotiq Lean Palletizing (PE20 mannequin)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n![\"PE20-1\"](\"https:\/\/blog.robotiq.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/PE20-1.png?width=494&height=395&name=PE20-1.png\")
<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nAs a substitute of going with a inflexible, high-cost automation system, the producer chosen:<\/span><\/p>\n\ud83d\udc49 <\/span>Robotiq\u00a0PE20<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nAs a result of it\u2019s designed particularly for producers who want:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>\u2705 Quick deployment<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nNo main structure adjustments.

- Payback turned extremely predictable<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>\ud83d\udcc8 Elevated throughput<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nWith a steady choose fee of 6\u201310 picks\/min:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- No extra end-of-line bottlenecks<\/span><\/li>\n
- Manufacturing can scale with confidence<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>\ud83d\udce6 Higher pallet high quality<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Constant stacking<\/span><\/li>\n

- Diminished product injury<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>\ud83d\udd04 Future-proof operations<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nAs manufacturing evolves:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- New merchandise? No drawback<\/span><\/li>\n

- New calls for? Already coated<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
