Role of Robotics in Packaging Day3

Robotics in packaging enhances efficiency, accuracy, flexibility, and safety by automating tasks such as packaging and labeling. There are two main types of automation: permanent, which is suited for high-volume tasks, and programmable, which allows for adaptability in production. The future of robotics in packaging includes AI integration, collaborative robots, and predictive maintenance, driving businesses towards more intelligent and flexible solutions.

Role of Robotics in packaging

Benefits of Robotics in packaging:

1. Increased Efficiency: Robots can automate tasks


such as packaging, labeling, and palletizing,
improving production speed and reducing labor
costs.
2. Improved Accuracy: Robots can accurately package
products, reducing errors and waste.
3. Flexibility: Robots can be programmed to handle
various packaging tasks and products, making them
adaptable to changing production needs.
4. Enhanced Safety: Robots can handle heavy or
hazardous materials, reducing the risk of injury to
human workers.
Benefits of Robotics in packaging
Why Automation in Packaging?
 Increasing demand for mass customization . Need for
efficiency in supply chains.
 Labor shortages and workplace safety concerns . Reduced
waste and improved quality control.
• Permanent Automation – Overview Also called Fixed
Automation.
 Designed for high-volume, repetitive tasks . High initial cost
but low per-unit cost.
 Limited flexibility.
Examples in Packaging:
 Conveyor systems
 Carton sealing machines
 Bottle filling lines
• 1. Permanent Automation – Applications
 Case Packing Robots: Pack products into boxes at high speed .
 Labeling Machines: Apply pre-set labels on fixed positions .
 Shrink Wrapping Units: Wrap products in film automatically .

• Benefits :
 High through put .
 Reduced manual labor .
 Consistent quality.

• 2. Programmable Automation – Overview


 Designed for batch production .
 Can be reprogrammed for different tasks .
 More flexible than permanent automation .
• Examples in Packaging :
 Articulated robots for pick and place
 Vision -guided robots
 Changeable packing configurations
• Programmable Automation – Applications
 Multi-product packaging lines for varying SKUs .
 Custom box forming for different sizes .
 Palletizing Robots with programmable stacking patterns .

• Benefits :
 Quick adaptation to new products .
 Ideal for variable production volumes .
 Improved responsiveness to market changes.

• Comparing Permanent vs. Programmable Automation

Real-World Case Study (Example)Company: Nestlé


 Uses permanent automation for bottle filling and sealing .
 Uses programmable robots for custom packaging and mixed SKU palletizing .
• Result: 25% increase in throughput and faster market response.
Challenges
 High initial investment.
 Need for skilled technicians.
 Maintenance and integration complexity.
 Cybersecurity for connected robotic systems.
Future of Robotics in Packaging
 AI-enabled robotics for real-time decision-making.
