Robotic Automation led to Increasing Production Multifold
Robotics and automation are dramatically reshaping the global economy. We at Fuji are helping
clients use the newest technologies to enhance the industrial operations by supplying an
integrated Robot system which meets their demands of high volume, velocity, variety, and
visibility, enhancing the quality in optimum cost.
Above: FujiAce EC 201 in action at a testing phase at our channel partner
factory. It can
achieve a maximum of 200 pallets per hour and has been tested for countless hours to
ensure
the quality.
Fuji Ace EC 201 Overview & Integration
The demand for automation technology is growing as companies across industries look for ways
to streamline and speed production and manufacturing. Fuji Ace EC 201 is one of such
integrated system which was recently installed in one of the India's biggest and oldest
beverage company. A total of 3 Robotic Palletizing systems were provided to handle 7
production lines.
Variety and Visibility
Each system was uniquely crafted to meet the high throughput of different varieties of SKU at
the same time. With an IT collaborated annunciation system the real time production data
enhances the visibility of the production. As compared to traditional manual palletizing,
the Robotic Palletizing system- Ace EC 201 increases the visibility to 99.99%. The
production handling capacity of the plant became twice thereby improving inventory
handling.
“The production capacity of the plant jumped to twice as much as before”
Lives made easy “1.5X Space Utilisation” “2.5 years for Return on Investment”
FujiAce EC 201 made the lives of the customer easy by providing a means to automatically
adjust the speed of the whole production line to suit whichever activity is the critical
constraint for a given batch. It can automatically make tiny adjustments in line speed to
improve the overall balance of individual lines and maximize the effectiveness of the whole
manufacturing system. By enhancing the plant space utilization by 1.5 times, the system is
well designed considering easy movement of material handling vehicles.
Return on Investment:
By completely eliminating the Labor cost at the packaging area at individual lines, the ROI
of the system is just 2.5 years. A fully automated system ensures no human contact during
the palletizing operation. Fuji emphasized a lot on the safety of the Robotic palletizer by
perfectly using automation at all the possible pinch points in the system. The smooth
handling of the product and efficient stacking of the boxes on pallet results in less
product damages.While the system works in high-speed, high-volume production applications,
it can make adjustments on the fly, switching seamlessly between product types without the
need to stop the line to change programming.
