Wisconsin-based Robotic Automation Systems, a robotics automation company for the plastics industry, has developed and manufactured an automated packaging system that will enable customers to automate the part-picking and palletizing phases of manufacturing that are currently done by hand.

The system’s automated palletizing function reduces the role of the full-time operator, enabling companies to handle labor shortages and reduce operation shut-down times in the event that full-time operators are unavailable.

Using the automated system, an operator is only necessary for roughly an hour to physically move full bulk-size corrugated boxes, replacing them with empty containers, and for reloading the slip sheet tray.

Additionally, the packaging system employs a collaborative robot to work alongside humans in the plant setting.
