Robotics: 25 Years of Reliable Palletizing Technology

Robotics: 25 Years of Reliable Palletizing Technology • Expert team develops smart and powerful robots • Systems optimally designed for many different tasks • KHS to introduce more standardized systems and virtual commissioning in the future

KHS has been using robots successfully for 25 years, especially in the packaging and palletizing sections of its lines. These high-tech systems master tasks such as sorting, distribution, depalletizing, palletizing and stacking efficiently, flexibly and economically. In the future KHS wishes to make greater use of standardized systems and solutions in order to give its customers even faster lead times. Virtual commissioning also features heavily in the company’s plans for the future.

The use of robots in the packaging and palletizing process steps is on the increase both in KHS’ single machine business and in its line projects. They are considered to be extremely reliable and low maintenance and provide secure production. They often perform several tasks at the same time and are valued as a future-proof investment. All that needs doing when setting up new functions is to replace the specific tool and modify the programming. Moreover, these intelligent machines produce at a low cost and are easy to operate. It is thus no surprise to learn that a growing number of bottlers in the beverage industry wish to make greater use of ‘colleague robot’.
