Yaskawa - the robot advantage for end-to-end packaging
Supplier News
In an effort to remain competitive, manufacturers continue to optimize packaging operations with fast, flexible and reliable robotic automation.
Delivering exceptional speed and precision for picking, packing and palletizing applications, robots are addressing stringent requirements for food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, specialty items and more. Highly advantageous, the use of versatile robots and their peripherals for end-to-end packaging provide amazing benefits:
High-performance operation – ideal for meeting primary, secondary and tertiary requirements, powerful robots with robust capability are built to perform in the most challenging situations.
Efficient and steady performance – extremely reliable, high-speed robots are capable of operating 24/7, and excel at reducing cycle times for greater product throughput.
Maximum quality products – highly consistent and precise, robotic technology helps optimize product quality for meeting high customer standards.
Better floorspace utilization – from compact or ceiling-mounted industrial robots, to flexible human-collaborative robots and everything between, an array of options exists to improve production workflow.
Rapid scalability – easy-to-use robots with intuitive programming are easily deployed and redeployed on demand, providing manufacturers with a viable way to handle high-mix, low-volume production requirements.
Programming flexibility – providing a user-friendly approach to automation integration, versatile platforms like the MLX300 software option enable robot programming and control in a standard PLC programming environment. Firm control over every component in the network is also gained.
Robust operating system – robots, such as Yaskawa robots, that are ROS (Robot Operating System) compatible help provide advanced robotic capability for challenging tasks. A blend of state-of-the art algorithms, software, drivers, functions and more, ROS is a free-to-use open source repository supported by Open Robotics at ros.org.
Join Yaskawa at Pack Expo 2021
A growing number of products and technologies designed to make it easier to configure, program and integrate an ideal robotic solution exist. The best way to learn about the various options available is to see them in person.
Whether you are looking to add robots to existing automation or if you are still on the fence when it comes to robot implementation, our industry experts look forward to helping you discover the right solution to suit your application needs. To learn more, stop the Yaskawa booth (#C-4040) at Pack Expo Las Vegas (September 27-29).
