Barclays Capital Research shows that by 2020 the size of the robot packaging industry will reach 3 billion dollars. Chinese is a manufacturing country, the packaging industry and with huge natural, industry automation, robot advantage gradually highlights. During the period from 2011 to 2015. The application of robot technology in the packaging industry increased from 9.5% to 17.4%. Moreover, "robot industry development plan (2016 - 2020)" the issue will help to further promote the automation level of the packaging industry.

Cooperation of robot high cost to improve economic benefit

Packaging is usually regarded as low value-added work, multilayer packing, packaging, sorting, selection of bagging, so repeatedly. But many manufacturers think packaging automation is not necessary, because it is not worthwhile, or not practical. But the advantage of collaborative robot affordable, making the packaging automation more cost-effective, especially OEM packaging services in the type of product, small batch of. Collaborative robot training summary, manufacturers do not need in order to cooperate with the cooperation of robot and redeploy the entire infrastructure, also do not need to hire specialized technical personnel to operate the robot. Therefore, collaborative robot OEM packaging services favored by.

Flexible automation solutions for maintaining customer satisfaction

The continuous change of the market and promote the production line for more flexible solutions, in order to maintain customer satisfaction. These changes include mass reduction, product diversification, increase traceability and unity of higher. Thus, equipment if there is not enough flexibility, most tasks are unable to implement automatic packaging.

Intelligent collaborative robot RethinkRobotics can be regarded as a table with the working arm of PC machine. You can open many programs on the computer, can be sorted according to the date of use. Also, you can directly select a task in the robot, and can set the date or time to run this task.

RethinkRobotics Sawyer and Baxter intelligent collaborative robot using the industry's most advanced Intera software platform is the most intuitive, when production changes, workers can quickly and easily re training of Sawyer and Baxter, is very suitable for the production line according to the needs of flexible conversion.

Safe mode of mass customization to meet the requirements of man-machine cooperation

Collaborative robots need not fixed on the protective fence, this is very important. First of all, manufacturers do not need to spend the time and cost of installation of protective fence in cooperation around the robot; furthermore, the robot can move freely in the collaboration between different application tasks. Mass customization is the mainstream trend, consumers want any customized products they get are the same in terms of price, quantity and quality. If the line is fixed, it is difficult to change, the manufacturer is difficult to meet the requirements of consumers.

In addition to the limit of power and power, working arm Sawyer and Baxter by a series elastic actuator and anti drive motor, can realize the adaptation action, and are equipped with embedded sensors in each joint. This makes them can work together with the employees and human security. Sawyer and Baxter are capable of different kinds of products, containers and packing tasks including packing structure, raw materials, components and finished products multipack.
