Industrial Automation - Design & Implement
Industrial automation in the packaging industry developed using cobots.
This industrial automation project was developed to help a packaging company save active labour time and costs. By automatically loading the egg carton labelling machine Adarsh Fibre was able to transition workers to more important jobs around the manufacturing facility. The custom designed projects allows the company to keep prices for their egg cartons down.
Project vision and approach
Idea to Life worked with Adarsh Fibre to develop their automation solution, which had to be simple, safe, and cost-effective.
The most important factor was to save time. Previously, the team could only load less than 1000 labels at a time, which meant the machine required constant supervision. Now, thanks to the automation completed by our design engineers, Adarsh Fibre can load many times this amount while remaining unsupervised.
Services
As a fully capable, vertically integrated design and development team, Idea to Life was able to assist the client with the entire automation project. From concept development, to automation design and implementation, through to refinement our automation team completed the full project. Concepts and prototyping, design iterations and custom additive manufacturing, as well as automation engineering, all led to the success of this project.
Idea
Adarsh Fibre needed to implement automation in their manufacturing process to decrease active labour time and allow their workers to focus on high-value activities.
Approach
Idea to Life worked closely with the client to rapidly design, develop, and implement the automation solution. This included the use of cobots and 3D printed end-of-arm fixtures.
