Project

Robotic palletizing supercharges personal care line

A contract manufacturer needed to eliminate the ergonomic risks of manually palletizing 40 lb cases every 8 seconds—without slowing their line. We delivered a high-speed robotic palletizing cell with smart safety zones and vision-based case rejection, reducing strain on workers, improving stack accuracy, and boosting productivity—all in just 14 weeks from design to installation.
