Cobot palletiser set to revolutionise robotic uptake

摘要

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. "The concept of collaborative robots working alongside humans has already been proven in automotive, warehousing and fulfilment environments. We believe the time is right and the technology is ready for this next-generation automation approach to be adopted for palletising tasks across a range of industries, from food and drink to personal care and pharmaceuticals," comments Dan Rossek, Marketing Manager for OMRON UK. He continues: "Designed together with our solution partner Reeco Automation, the RB1200 has the potential to revolutionise palletising. Our offering is unparalleled in terms of its size, afford-ability and agility. The ease with which it can be set up for different products and layouts and redeployed around the factory floor is phenomenal."
