PALLETIZING OF PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR PRODUCTS

An automatic palletizing system is responsible for taking a box, sack or bag from a specific point and stacking it on a platform or pallet for shipment or processing.

These systems are made up of one or several robotic arms that are responsible for placing the materials that come out of the production line. These robotic arms automate the task that was historically done manually by an operator.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PALLETIZING AND DEPALLETIZING SYSTEMS FOR THE PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR

Palletizing and depalletizing solutions for the pharmaceutical sector are characterized by very fast and precise cycle times. They can perform tasks with different sizes of boxes at the same time thanks to technologies such as Artificial Vision.

Both cobots and industrial robots can be used. The advantages of using cobots in these facilities are, among others, saving space by not needing physical security fencing. In addition, it allows interaction with the operator.

On the other hand, industrial robots need to be located within security perimeters to ensure that there are no accidents at work, so they need more space.

At Desmasa we integrate both industrial robots and cobots, since there is currently a wide variety of models that allow moving loads from 5 to 25 kilos.

We currently have a flexible collaborative palletizing solution. More information here.

 

PALLETIZING ROBOTS

We have developed our own software that is very simple to use. We can program simulations of the cycles, modifying the loads and the composition of the mosaic before transmitting the configuration to the robot.

Collaborative robots can be used in simple, standard and mixed load handling tasks.

Some of the benefits of automate the palletizing system in the pharmaceutical sector are:

• They can be adjusted to different palletizing needs.
• They work automatically with great precision in the repetition of a process.
• They offer very high performance given their speed.
• Easily adapt to the production process
• Operartor can focus on higher value work, eliminating repetitive work.
• They can move the product at great heights without creating overexertion
• They allow quick integrations in workstations
• Perform high-effort, repetitive tasks 24 hours a day
• They work in extreme conditions of temperature and security such as clean rooms, very common in the pharmaceutical sector.
