Ornua Ingredients, part of Irish Dairy co-operative Ornua, has now deployed the UR20 cobot in end-of-line palletizing, one of the business’ most labor-intensive operations.
“We looked at palletizing as the first area to deploy automation due to the number of human resources we required,” comments Jack Cotton, Continuous Improvement Lead, Ornua. “When we learned about what the UR20 could do, we were excited by the capabilities, both in terms of the capacity it could lift and the arm reach, which were perfect for the delicate products we required support for. The benefits of its deployment have been nothing short of brilliant, with increases in consistency and productivity boosts very clear to see.”
Manufacturers interested in integrating the UR20 into their operations are encouraged to contact Universal Robots to discuss their specific automation needs and explore the possibilities offered by the UR20 cobot.
