Stronger together: How combining technology and industry expertise is delivering pain point busting automation solutions
Robotics and automation have the potential to transform the manufacturing industry, driving efficiencies and alleviating the pressures associated with growing workforce shortages. Moving innovative new technologies from development to deployment in a way that overcomes real challenges, however, is a team effort.
Brillopak’s UniPAKer P160, developed in collaboration with OMRON, is a fully automated pick-and-place machine designed to meet the high standards of the food manufacturing industry. By leveraging OMRON’s robotics and vision technology, the P160 efficiently picks and packs multiple SKUs into IFCO trays and cardboard boxes. The system's flexibility allows for easy recipe changes, remote access, and integration with quality control measures like OCR-based date code verification. As part of the OMRON Solutions Partner programme, Brillopak gains access to cutting-edge technology, sales support, and a broader European market, driving innovation in packaging automation.
