Turnkey Solutions Featuring Integrated Robotics and Conveyors

At their very core, both robotic and conveyor systems are designed and implemented to make operations easier for a given business. When integrated together in a production, packaging, or warehouse environment, these automated systems have shown to boost efficiency and save costs. A single turnkey line that repeats its actions and allows employees to focus on more complex tasks will streamline operations, and enable further innovations to assist companies in all industries.

This article from Packaging Technology Today explains the collaboration between robotics and conveyors systems, and how the automation industry is likely to see more of this moving forward. Robotic solutions are consistent, safe, fast, and easily programmable; and conveyor systems can be tailored to any shape, size, and weight of the product to be transported.

More than ever before, integration specialists like Precision Automation® have a seemingly endless assortment of automation tools at their disposal in order to provide the perfect solution for their customer. This is precisely what our sales engineers pride themselves on: understanding the customers’ needs, determining the correct type of advantageous automation systems, and integrating them together for a turkey machine to solve the problem.

Our blog post from earlier this year details a few various types of conveyor systems (like belts, motorized rollers, chains, etc.) and how they can be effectively employed for different applications. Additionally, our company recently published a new Robotic Solutions Service page of our website to showcase our capabilities and educate our clients about the benefits of robotic integration. This page also details the common types of robots and how each can be best utilized for different functions.

In a recent e-mail to our contacts, we had referenced an article that DC Velocity magazine ran earlier this summer that discussed how robotics and conveyors are implemented within warehouses and distribution centers to increase efficiency. These types of automation integration solutions have shown to significantly increase productivity for clients’ processes, and reduce error rates. The editor of this piece goes on to say: “Blending the tried-and-true with the up-and-coming is something…systems integrators say is becoming a more important part of material handling system design.”

The sales engineering team at Precision Automation® has been tasked with doing just that in recent years: combining decades of experience in material handling with new, innovative systems in order to solve our clients’ bottlenecks.

One of the most common applications for robotic and conveyor integration is palletizing, where products are packaged & conveyed downstream to a robotic system that builds pallets ready to ship. Automated palletizing presents significant savings in labor along a production or processing line, by stacking product for shipment without employee intervention.

Palletizing robots perform these tasks with greater speed than human labor, and execute repeatable actions (given products of a consistent shape, size, weight, etc.) 

In addition to palletizing, robotic automation solutions are integrated with conveyor systems for plenty of efficient applications:

• Tray and Case Packing

• Pharmaceutical Processing & Packaging

• Material Handling

• Food and Beverage Packaging

• Complete Assembly

• Order Picking

• Product and Package Inspection

• Distribution Center Operations

• Sortation

Our whole team wants to assist your business by becoming faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective with your processes. Precision Automation® has been providing services for almost 75 years, and our integration experts lean on every bit of that experience to bring you the best automation solutions possible.
