Palletizing operations are an essential part of many manufacturing and logistics processes. However, when done manually, they can be repetitive and physically demanding, leading to worker fatigue and increased risk of workplace injuries. This is where mobile collaborative robot solutions like Hermes come in, offering a more efficient and safer solution for palletizing tasks. What […]
In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, product quality is a critical factor that can determine a company’s success or failure. Manufacturers are turning to advanced technologies such as robotics to achieve their production goals. With increasing pressure to product high-quality products at lower costs and with greater efficiency, it’s important as ever to have systems in […]
Palletizing Specs for a Cold Environment Tooling Design When temperatures in a room dip below a certain temperature, the design of the tool must adapt in order to fulfil the requirements of the project. One thing that becomes extremely important is the selection of the tool cups. Due to the lower temperatures, the cups become […]
Levels of Collaboration Between Humans and Robots Interactions between humans and robots can be distilled down into five levels. These levels are: An extensive breakdown of each of the levels can be found here. Case Study: Fenced Robot The first level of collaboration is Fenced Robot. This level is just as it sounds – a […]
Depalletizing and palletizing are two of the most common processes in material handling. At Zeta Group, we specialize in robust end of line robotic solutions, including depalletizing/palletizing. We currently have two FANUC robots on our floor being integrated into a fully automated depalletizing/palletizing system. Utilizing automation and robots for these processes increases efficiency and quality […]
OVERVIEW OF GENERAL END OF ARM TOOLING APPLICATIONS End of arm tooling (EOAT) on robotic systems is an essential part of an automation project. The specific tooling is what gives the robot it’s function. The various tooling may allow the robot to grip, pick and place boxes, pick and place product, or utilize vision. Additionally, […]
Robotic safety is an essential part of the automation process. Since automation in manufacturing is a collaborative effort between humans and robots, it is integral that certain safety protocols need to be followed. RISK ASSESMENTS FOR ROBOTIC SAFETY At Zeta Group, in order for a project to leave our facility and be installed on […]
Mobile manufacturing equipment is beneficial to a system. In a previous blog post, we explained the many benefits of mobile equipment. Some of those benefits include optimization of equipment, versatility in systems, and ease of maintenance. Zeta recently had a customer that came to us for integration of automation to use in multiple different lines. […]
