Palletiser set to revolutionise robotic uptake
Omron and Reeco have taken
collaborative robotics innovation to the
next level with the development of the
RB1200 cobot palletiser that costs up to
50% less and has a 60% smaller
footprint than a conventional robot
palletiser. These game-changing metrics
have a radical impact on project
payback, making end-of-line robotic
automation economically attractive to
producers of all sizes for the first time.
Although a mainstay of FMCG production lines for many years, robot palletisers take up
considerable floor space, are complex to specify and programme, and are almost impossible
to redeploy to another location, making them cost-prohibitive for many SMEs. In contrast,
Reeco and Omron’s RB1200 cobot palletiser is a compact plug-and-play system that can be
easily switched between lines. This ensures users can maximise their investment by providing
flexibility to cope with rapid changes in demand across the factory.
