Conventional or Robotic?:

Which is Best For Your Packaging Line?

There are several key advantages to robots that you should consider, particularly if:

• You have frequent product changeovers or package changes
• You have mixed loads on a pallet
• You have special patterns, such as bag overlapping
• You have multiple lines feeding a single palletizing area
• You need maximum flexibility to make changes

Robots have become well-accepted in the packaging area. PASCO can help you decide if your production line can benefit from this type of automation.
