At IFFA 2022, Pulsar Industry presented a series of innovative solutions for production and packaging departments, including a robotic case packing system for bags and trays containing sliced meats and cubes. This advanced system features a compact, single-unit design, designed to accommodate one or two parallel-kinematic robots, depending on the customer’s needs.
The system integrates parallel-kinematic robots supported by a latest-generation vision system that intercepts the product arriving from the production lines, whether in single or multiple trays. The robots pick up the product, orient it correctly, and gently place it into the destination carton. The cartons are then directed to the closing and labeling stages.
For bag packaging, the monoblock houses a parallel-kinematics robot that forms stacks of the desired size, assisted by an anthropomorphic robot that inserts the stack into the preformed carton. The system is designed to handle any type of carton, including those intended for direct sale to the consumer, offering unparalleled operational flexibility.
Thanks to its high modularity and high performance, the system offered by Pulsar Industry represents an extremely flexible solution for the packaging departments of the most demanding customers. This system allows for significant savings in resources and a rapid return on investment.
Pulsar Industry handles the entire design cycle, from the mechanics to the electrical control panels, right up to the on-board machine systems and system automation. Furthermore, the department production management software is supported by Dynamic, our MES management system for the food industry. Dynamic ensures complete traceability and effective management of quality records, capturing all operating data and correlating the information to provide real-time efficiency and productivity graphs.
Through the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) index, Dynamic allows customers to identify areas for improvement in their plants, offering an essential tool for recovering margins and improving overall performance.
This case study demonstrates how Pulsar Industry provides cutting-edge solutions that combine robotic automation and advanced management software, making production and packaging processes more efficient, flexible, and profitable.
