Grated cheese box Palletizing (dusty and continuous environment)

Role: Production Manager

“In our case, we work with grated cheese packaged in bags, then in cartons. The environment is dusty and production is practically continuous.”

Requirement

  • Very high and continuous cycles (almost 24/7)
  • Presence of dust that created problems for traditional systems
  • Wide range of carton formats (retail, horeca, private label)
  • Need for high reliability (downtime not acceptable)

“We needed a robust solution that would not stop and would not require continuous maintenance.”

Solution implemented

  • Robotized cell with anthropomorphic robot configured for a demanding environment
  • Protected components and layout designed to reduce dust accumulation
  • Simplified and robust gripper, optimized for fast cycles
  • Dynamic pallet pattern management system

“The simplicity of the gripper was a deliberate choice: fewer components, fewer problems.”

Results

  • Continuous operation with downtime reduced to a minimum
  • Reduced cleaning and maintenance interventions
  • Increased overall line reliability
  • Ability to manage all formats without manual reconfiguration

“To date, the system works practically without stopping. For us, this has been fundamental.”
