Why Invest in Robotics?
For many companies, the decision to invest in robotic palletization stems from a shortage of labor that is willing to manually stack pallets for a living. Even for those not facing labor shortages, here are 6 key reasons to palletize with robots:
Safety
Robots reduce the need for employees to perform repetitive, potentially injury-causing movements eight hours per day - improving both safety and productivity.
Productivity
Not only are today's robots faster than ever before, but they can work 24/7/365 with minimal maintenance.
Consistency
Robots are programmed to perform repetitive tasks in an error-free manner and can be programmed to pack and palletize the exact amount, in the configured way each and every time.
Flexibility
MMCI’s robust intuitive software, integrated controls and multi-functional end-of-arm tooling allow our robots to pick, pack, handle and palletize a wide variety of products and packaging types and even palletize mixed loads.
Space
The multi-functional capabilities of today's robots allow skilled designers to develop systems that perform multiple tasks - eliminating the need for certain equipment and processing areas.
Cost
Significant improvements in safety and productivity can typically justify the investments in robotics for many companies, but the long-term ROI is even greater when one considers the other benefits.
