Leveraging UR+ to design an innovative palle­tizing solution

Flexibility:

One of Clearpack’s main considerations for choosing UR was its open platform, which meant the end user had the flexibility to program the application themselves.

Ease of Use:

Clearpack had to ensure that the solution was easy to implement so that its customers in the FMCG sector could quickly adapt to it. UR’s user friendly human machine interface facilitated this and the cobot’s collaborative nature allowed it to work in coordination with people.

Safe:

For Clearpack risk assessment is an integral part of any project feasibility study as they work with many leading multinational companies that have high safety standards. With the right application and a proper design of accessories, the team was able to put together a system without the need of a safety guard. Safety guards are typically required when deploying bulky traditional industrial robots, resulting in additional costs for the installation and factory layout changes.

“Most of our customers, while building their manufacturing facility, will not have considered space for auto palletization. UR’s compact foot print and ease-of-use has made auto palletization feasible. The cobot also enables a more ergonomic and safe way for handling repetitive tasks such as palletizing."
