FLEXIPACK

AUTOMATED ORDER PACKING AND PALLETIZING PREPARATION

-PR2-

DESCRIPTION

The proposed project is located in a water or soda industry.  We have focused on the packaging and palletizing of the bottles, but this process can be applied to any product.

In this project we will show you how to automate this task and how this will reduce the production times.

Selection and assembly of boxes

The selection of the boxes depends on the size of the order, and can be S, M, XL. A colaborative robot will be in charge of assembling, sealing and leaving the boxes in place

Box filling

This process will be do it by a colaborative robot that picks up the bottles and places them inside the box.

Palletizing

Once the boxes are filled they will be sealed from the top and palletized by an industrial robot. 

OUR TECHNOLOGIES USED

3 types of boxes

The size of the boxes will be chosen by the client. 

Just press a button and your station will change the size of the box

3 types of boxes

Size S: 32 bottles per box

Size M: 64 bottles per box

Size XL: 128 bottles per box

Flexibility

We guarantee you that this project can be easily adapted for any type of product.

Flexibility

This project can be modified to fill and paletize soft drinks cans, larger bottles, food and a wide amount of products.

ESP32

Perfect tool to connect robots with any signal we want to traslade to them

ESP32

Through this microcontroller we can connect a push button and when pressed it send a message in JSON directly to the robots via MQTT. 

It has a great adaptability as we use it as an emergency button or to choose which box we want to use

COMMUNICATIONS

For comunication with the robots about which box they have to pack and paletize we have use brokers to send messages through MQTT.

This is an easy way to send messages to the robots when the employee has to change the type of box we want to produce.

The employee only has to push a botton when he desires to change the production

OUR TECHNOLOGIES USED

These technologies are the one that have allowed us to bring to light this project. We would like to thank them because without them this project wouldn’t have been possible
