Pick and place

What are pick and place robots and how can they help your business grow?

Pick and place robots do exactly what it says on the tin: pick things up from one location, such as a conveyor belt, and place them down in another, for example, on a pallet. The automated machines can be programmed to perform precise movements and can handle objects of all sizes with much greater speed, accuracy and consistency than a human operative. This makes them a popular choice for manufacturers looking to increase efficiency and productivity.

Energy-efficiency in manufacturing: Europack palletisers and other ways to reduce your carbon footprint

In most developed countries, manufacturing is one of the top three sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Industries including automotive, electronics, steel, cement, food production and more all contribute to emissions through energy consumption, industrial processes and waste generation - and therefore have a responsibility to take action to reduce their carbon footprint.

Get a grip on efficiency: why choosing the right gripping head makes a difference

In manufacturing, efficiency is key to success. Improved efficiency results in greater productivity, less waste, fewer hours lost to downtime and lower costs. This is why automated technology such as sack-filling machines and palletisers is so valuable – these machines feature specialist gripping heads so rather than slow and labour-intensive manual handling of packages they can handle items with speed and precision.
