There are many situations when robotic palletizing is a great cost saving choice. Oftentimes it is ideal when flexibility and quick changeover are desired. Other situations include when you have multiple case sizes & pallet configurations to palletize, when you need to palletize multiple products at the same time, and when you are palletizing multiple shifts per day. To find out if robotic palletizing is the most cost effective choice for your situation please contact us today.

According to International Federation of Robotics estimates, there are approximately 3 million industrial robots in operation today worldwide.

Great eye! This year we invested in a site redesign, so what you’re looking at now is our new site.

Casting operations such as die-casting, investment casting, and sand casting are often dirty, dangerous, and dull jobs. Output, production, and safety for these processes can be significantly improved with robotic automation.

Great question. There are a variety of applications for robotic assembly. Some common robotic assembly applications include such functions as: - Part Fastening - Part Joining - Part Sorting - Part Identification - Part Feeding - Tool Changing - Part Inspection - Bin Picking - Part traceability - Adhesive, Sealant & Grease Dispensing

For the creation of new load patterns, we use a PC-based graphical interface, which allows unit load patterns to be created remotely and uploaded to the system. All of Remtec’s case palletizing systems are equipped with standard Allen-Bradley controllers, which eliminate the need for robot programming expertise on the packaging floor. A simple touch screen operator interface is provided so that the system can be operated without specialized training.

For those of you looking for a lower-cost palletizer, Remtec’s Compact Robotic Palletizer is engineered to provide an economical and versatile system for case palletizing. Contact us to learn more.

Remtec has had the opportunity to serve a variety of markets with machine vision technology integration. Markets we frequently serve include automotive manufacturing, consumer product manufacturing, aerospace manufacturing, and general industry.

Machine vision technology offers an unprecedented level of quality control for a growing number of industrial processes. Machine vision provides a reliable solution for increasing accuracy, consistency, and productivity. Machine vision inspection allows supervisors to identify process inefficiencies that may otherwise go unnoticed in systems that rely solely on human detection. The advantages of machine vision technology include optimized process uptime, reduced rework, and absolute quality assurance. Unlike off-line quality inspections, which are time-consuming and only inspect a small percentage of parts, machine vision inspection assures every part produced is inspected. Visit our website for more advantages of machine vision.

Machine vision technology uses digital sensors integrated into industrial cameras equipped with specially designed optics for capturing images. These images enable computer technology to measure, process, and analyze specific characteristics.

Depending on your application needs, we certainly should be able to help. In fact, our first customers, who were almost all in the transportation products industry, are still our customers today.

Collaborative robots can actually promote worker health and safety by taking over tedious, repetitive tasks and some degree of lifting.

Collaborative robot applications include four basic operations: 1) safety-rated monitored stop, 2) hand guiding, 3) speed and separation monitoring, and 4) power and force limiting by design.

Remtec assembly robot solutions have helped manufacturers achieve significant cost savings, quality improvements and productivity gains.

Robotic assembly systems can consist of one or multiple assembly operations occurring within a work cell.

3D robotic vision inspection systems involve multiple cameras or one or more laser displacement sensors. Multi-camera 3D vision in robotic guidance systems provides the robot with part orientation data. 3D laser-displacement applications can use just one sensor to provide 3D information for height mapping, volume measurement, and surface inspection.

Automotive manufacturing, consumer product manufacturing, end of line packaging, aerospace manufacturing, and general industry have all benefited from industrial robotic vision inspection projects.

Robotic vision inspection offers businesses a flexible and dependable solution for quality control issues by increasing productivity, eliminating quality slips and reducing rework. Robots can quickly and efficiently inspect every part produced, eliminating uncaught errors and incorrect orders.

1D robotic vision inspection systems analyze a digital signal one line at a time instead of looking at an entire picture at once. 2D vision inspection systems most commonly include inspection cameras that either capture 2D snapshots or build a 2D image line by line.

Machine vision uses a camera to create an image, then computer vision algorithms and tools process and interpret the image. It will then instruct other components in the system to act upon this data.

There are a number of EOAT options available, each with their own specific uses. Vacuum cups or pads are generally used for closed top cases and pails. A scoop tool or a combo scoop and clamp tool is generally used for open top cases or trays. A bag tool with lifting fingers and a tamp is generally used for large bags in the 20-100 # range. Odd shaped parts are generally picked up with a custom designed clamp tool.

Robotic palletizers cover a wide cost range depending on the application (product palletized, number of SKUs per system, rates, etc.). Remtec’s application and sales specialists can assist you in achieving your ROI goals.

There are a number of products that can be palletized with robotics and essentially anything that can be stacked stably. Some examples include closed top RSC cases (taped or glued), trays or open top cases, bags, pails, and/or manufactured parts in dunnage.

Cobot is an abbreviated term for collaborative robot. A collaborative robot is built to interact with human workers in a common space. A traditional robot is designed to work autonomously and away from human contact.

Great question. Assembly robots can fasten, join, sort, identify, feed, inspect, and trace parts. They can also change tooling, do bin picking, and also dispense adhesive, sealant, or grease.

Yes, we certainly do! Take some time to visit our channel and watch our robots in action: https://www.youtube.com/user/RemtecEngineering.

Generally, a single articulated arm robot palletizer can handle from 1-4 products at the same time. Though gantry style robots or articulated robots on a rail can enable the palletizing system to handle 5-20+ products, as long as the total case per minute rate is within the capability of the robot being utilized and the overall system design.

No, not always. Collaborative robots are not always fenceless, meaning their contact with humans can be limited, but in many cases the goal is to allow the operator to freely work with the robot.

Yes. New systems and legacy equipment can be controlled and production data can be collected using one integrated control system, developed to work with your automated assembly process.

Many industries have enhanced productivity and efficiency with robotic palletizing, including consumer goods manufacturing, automotive, durable goods manufacturing, and food processing. Let us know what industry you work in, and we will let you know whether you could benefit from robot palletizing too.
