Palletizing
Warehouse work is the fifth most dangerous job in the US, with overexertion and heavy materials being leading causes of injury and death. Manual palletizing presents both of those dangers, risking worker health as well as millions of dollars a year for businesses. Rapid Robotics is helping factories tackle dangerous palletizing tasks with robotic automation – Automate attendees can see a UR10e on a Robotiq palletizing system, integrated with Rapid Robotics’ software stack, palletizing boxes at booth #5620. By utilizing robotic automation for palletizing operations and redeploying manual handling, manufacturers save costs, reduce the risk of injury and increase efficiency.
Box Building
One of the three solutions that Rapid Robotics will showcase at Automate is box building. When completed manually by human labor, box building is a tedious, low or no margin task that can lead to repetitive strain injuries and slow operations. By implementing box building automation, manufacturers can accelerate the entire end-of-line process and boost their profit margins. In the Rapid Robotics booth, attendees can see a fully integrated, pre-trained UR5e at a custom low-footprint case erector, folding and taping boxes.
Packing
No matter what a facility produces, whether it be medical devices or car parts, the product will eventually need to be loaded into shipping cartons. But manual packing can often result in operational bottlenecks, mistakes and short shipments. Implementing robotic automation for packing operations speeds up the process, eliminates human error, and keeps end-of-line operations moving without worry – another Rapid Robotics solution that attendees can see performed by a UR5e cobot at the Universal Robots booth, #3623. Rapid Robotics is a UR+ partner, and has integrated the entire Universal Robots cobot line into their deployment portfolio.
The excitement doesn’t stop there – demonstrations aren’t the only place you’ll find Rapid Robotics during Automate 2023:
Attendees can explore an interactive kiosk at Rapid Robotics’ partner Yaskawa Motoman’s booth, #3223. The experience takes users through dozens of applications that can be deployed in weeks with Yaskawa industrial arms that are integrated with Rapid’s unique tech stack.
On Tuesday, May 23, Rapid Robotics VP of Product Juan Aparicio will speak about how new innovations in software and 3D printing make robotic automation easier and more achievable for manufacturers of any scale.
