End-of-Arm Tooling: The key to versatility in your packaging process
Plants want more versatility in their packaging process, and flexible, intelligent EOAT is one way to get it. EOAT stands for end-of-arm tooling and it refers to a variety of options, from servo grippers and hybrid tooling to advanced tool changeover that are available to robot users. When creating a robotic packaging line to handle […]
Impact of Drug Quality & Security Act on Secondary Packaging
In November of 2013, the Federal government in the United States passed the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) to identify and trace certain prescription drugs as they are distributed in the United States. The FDA, in partnership with drug supply chain partners, will phase in development of the DSCSA-mandated drug tracking system by implementing […]
The Best ROI for Automating the Palletizing Process
Palletizer question: “I have two lines running to one palletizing area and want to automate. What is the best return on investment for my situation?” There are multiple answers to this but mostly it comes down to production rates and floor space. Your four choices are a gantry system, conventional on both lines, line release […]
