There has been another entrant in the robotic automation market, with US packaging machinery manufacturer MGS Machine launching its new Collaborative Palletiser.
Designed to work alongside humans, the palletiser removes the need for a safety fence, which cuts down on floorspace requirements compared to traditional robotic palletisers.
Replacing manual palletising, this automated solution improves productivity while reducing labor costs and injuries associated with heavy lifting and repetitive motion.
Suited to manufacturers and contract packers of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and medical devices, the palletiser can handle cases weighing up to 35kg at speeds of up to six cases per minute.
For life science companies working to comply with e-pedigree serialisation and track-and-trace initiatives, MGS can also supply a fully serialised integrated packaging line.
Aggregated child-parent-grandparent relationships of serial numbers can be created from primary packages, to secondary packages, to pallet loads.
