A key player in the pharmaceutical industry, significantly improved its production capabilities with FANUC's automated solutions. By integrating FANUC robots, DEMO optimised the filling, packaging, and labeling processes, resulting in enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and overall productivity in their operations.
In a fast-moving fresh-food distribution plant, efficiency through automated packing operations is paramount to keep pace with demand. As a by-product of this approach, robot adopters also gain from less physical strain for employees, gentler handling of delicate produce like fruit and vegetables, and more a uniform and repeatable process. Among the latest factories to benefit from all this added value is the Bätterkinden, Switzerland facility of major food distributor Inoverde, where carrot filling, packing and palletising operations are benefiting from the introduction of three FANUC industrial robots.
Many tasks throughout industry are tailor-made for automation. Grinding and polishing are among this number, particularly when challenging materials make these processes slow and onerous for human operatives.
When implementing improvements to a bottleneck process the common outcome is the emergence of a new bottleneck elsewhere in the factory. Whereas in years gone by this situation would necessitate the recruitment of more labour, automation has today become industry’s go-to solution for bottlenecks. Just ask Brunos, a leading producer of salad dressings, which knows all about the benefits that a robot can bring.
