Wikpol’s robot-based palletizing and packaging lines are characterized by a high flexibility, thanks to which they prove useful under any operating production conditions, and in working with any product. The scope of tasks performed at the line often goes beyond the palletizing and packaging area, and includes a number of activities related to other processes: packaging, quality inspection, internal logistics etc.
Wikpol’s palletizing and packaging lines are flexible, because they make it possible to:
place products on pallets according to complex templates
adapt to a new production profile easily and quickly
increase the efficiency in the event of an increase in the production volume
cooperate with other work stations, e.g. packaging or automated palletizing and packaging stations, e.g. with palletizers
palletize assortments of very diverse shapes, weights, dimensions, and manufacturing materials.
palletize products being fed from several production lines at the same time or by means of switching.
palletize short series
stacking of large batches
controlling the operation of the line from different levels
trouble-free connection to devices installed at the plant and to units which will be installed in the future
full exchange of data with any existing IT systems, and with any software which will be developed in the future
smoothly switch between the stacking templates using different pallet types
implement additional duties, such as:
- control of product weight or shape and discrimination of out-of-tolerance pieces
- detecting metals
- marking or labelling the products, packages
- controlling the labels for compliance, correctness
- forming trays, displays, and cardboard boxes
- packing the products
- mixing different types of products in multipacks
- closing the packages
- controlling the packages for correct closing
- packing loose goods with forming the shape of the bags
- applying the corners, washers, spacers, and lids on the pallets
- foil wrapping and labelling the pallets
- close transport at the manufacturing department
NUMBERS CONFIRMING THE FLEXIBILITY
A line for stacking fire -resistant materials on kiln cars
Palletizing and packaging line for cardboard boxes – food industry
Palletizing and packaging line for paint cans – chemical industry
The robots are very flexible when it comes to the diversification of palletized products.
The robots also facilitate making changes in the production process, such as: product modifications, production profile modifications, station modernizations, or process optimization. Thanks to the flexibility of robots, these changes can be made quickly, at relatively low costs.
The line is refitted to a different assortment or various activities within the same cycle without the need to laboriously refit the devices (automatic refitting), which makes it possible to minimize or even eliminate pauses for adapting the production to the new conditions.
These are the most important arguments for the persons responsible for the efficient course of production operations. The users of robotized palletizing and packaging systems also emphasize the benefits resulting from the ability to expand them easily or combine them with other lines or devices.
