As packaging materials have become thinner, material handling equipment ― like palletizing and depalletizing machines ― is adapting to ensure warehouse operations protect the efficacy of beverages.

OnRobot US Inc. unveiled the MG10, a versatile, high-performance, easy-to-use magnetic gripper for material handling. 

Among the factors pushing the automated palletizer industry to a predicted $3.27 billion market by 2025 are SKU-mixed cases; the need to save space, time and money; and streamlining processes when it comes to a limited workforce and optimizing equipment collaboration.

Spa Springs provides co-packing, labeling and palletizing services for beverage companies With expertise in production, co-packing and labeling, Spa Springs Mineral Water Co. Ltd. can assist with beverage manufacturing needs.

The solution is designed to increase uptime for high-speed palletizer production used in container stacking.

The company highlighted a new fully automated packaging line with four cobots that were randomly picking from moving conveyors and filling backpacks with food for at-risk youth.

Although it once seemed convenient to stop in at a local store to pick up needed items, consumers now can skip the trip altogether and have items delivered to their doors. In turn, this affects how companies package, warehouse, handle and ship products, resulting in a variety of operational shifts.

Honeywell Intelligrated offers connected solutions for automated palletizing equipment in end-of-line manufacturing environments.

Serving as the backbone to packaging operations, today’s palletizers and depalletizers incorporate flexibility, speed, high performance and safety to ramp up operations.

The attachment directly fits onto the forks of any standard lift truck with Liftomatic’s exclusive “Parrot-Beak” clamping system and cushioned belt-cradles.
