Midwest Engineered Systems used robotic integration to design a system with the ability to palletize 80 cases or more per minute.
The Challenge
​
- 
Palletize multiple sizes of corrugated boxes with one robotic automation system
 - 
The robotic integration would need no product changeover
 - 
Product rates of up to 80 boxes per minute
 - 
The automation system would have the ability to produce multiple pallet patterns
 - 
Slip sheet handling
 - 
Pallet dispensing
 - 
Robotic integration of an automatic stretch wrapping system
 
The Solution
The following industrial automation methods, components and technologies were implemented and integrated to provide a comprehensive robotic automation solution:
- 
Fanuc robotic palletizing solution (PalletPRO)
 - 
Dynamic end of arm tool designed for case variety (vacuum)
 - 
Activated Roller Belt (ARB) row forming in-feed conveyor
 - 
MWES Model PD1000 pallet dispenser
 - 
Custom integrated chain driven live roller (CDLR) pallet conveyor system
 - 
Slip sheet storage rack
 - 
MWES dropped box manual recovery system
 - 
Integrated automatic stretch wrapping system
