Proco Machinery Unveils Versatile Cobot Palletizing System at NPE 2024

April 2024

Proco Machinery, a leading innovator in manufacturing automation, is set to unveil its latest cobot palletizing system at NPE 2024, scheduled from May 6th to 10th at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. This cutting-edge system represents a significant advancement in the realm of industrial robotics, offering a versatile solution aimed at enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and streamlining operations for manufacturers.

Designed specifically for palletizing trays and tier sheets for plastic bottles, Proco's cobot palletizing system stands out for its remarkable flexibility and seamless integration capabilities. With the ability to palletize trays and tier sheets up to 104 inches high, this system promises to revolutionize the way manufacturers handle their packaging processes.

One of the key features of Proco's cobot system is its adaptability to existing production lines, including the option to configure it into a case packer. This integration minimizes disruptions and downtime, allowing manufacturers to optimize their workflow and maximize the utilization of warehouse space. By combining palletizing and case-packing processes, companies can achieve greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness in their operations.

John McCormick, President of Proco Machinery, emphasizes the transformative potential of this cobot system, stating that it brings together efficiency, safety, flexibility, and sustainability to deliver a compelling value proposition. In light of increasing labor shortages and the growing demand for automation solutions, Proco's system addresses the evolving needs of modern manufacturing industries.

Proco's cobot palletizing system joins a wave of innovative automation solutions showcased at NPE 2024. Previously, OMRON introduced a PLC-based cobot palletizing solution aimed at reducing programming time and enhancing production flexibility. Schneider Electric also unveiled its Lexium cobot, designed to handle heavy payloads, minimize operational downtime, and alleviate the workload of human operators.

With its focus on market competitiveness and bottom-line profitability, Proco Machinery is poised to make a significant impact in the field of industrial automation. Attendees of NPE 2024 can witness live demonstrations of Proco's cobot palletizing system at booth #S15097, experiencing firsthand the efficiency and versatility it brings to modern manufacturing operations.
