“Collaborative robot technologies like SafeMove help us deliver on all of these requirements, and by removing the need for extensive fencing, enable us to bring automation to smaller spaces, anywhere on the production line.”
At the same time, they require higher levels of productivity and efficiency while maintaining the highest levels of product quality,” said Sami Atiya, President of ABB Robotics & Discrete Automation. “Food and beverage manufacturers like Nestlé increasingly need more flexibility on their production lines to enable them to adapt to changing consumer tastes and demands, allowing their employees to collaborate intermittently with robots in their production centers. ABB’s new, compact robotic palletizing cell, co-developed by ABB and Nestlé’s engineering team, features an ABB IRB 660 robot with a suction gripper head to move boxes from the end of the production line to the pallet, stacking them accurately to ensure a balanced load, while SafeMove technology enables safe intermittent collaboration between the robot and production line workers. An important requirement was for the robot to safely interact with employees, who occasionally need to enter the palletizing area to speed up pallet changes. While the company currently uses ABB Robotics palletizing solutions, the latest requirement was for a more compact cell that could fit into a smaller area and easily be replicated at other sites. The new ABB palletizing robot solution improves the productivity of pallet loading and ABB’s SafeMove collaborative robot technology enhances employee safety while increasing efficiency at Nestle’s confectionary factories.
