Automated Case Packing & Case Packing Robots

Automating case packing has been a challenge for machine builders over the years. Many unique, mechanical designs have evolved tailored to the product or case size. Mechanical systems are high maintenance and lack the flexibility robots can bring to case packing. Robots can pick single or multiple items to pack single or multiple cases per cycle. Quick change end of arm tooling can prepare the same robot to handle products of varying sizes and shapes.

Bastian Robotics designs robotic case packing systems that enable manufacturers to reduce labor and safety costs while increasing throughput, reliability, and accuracy of orders.

How Case Packing Robots Work

Products are automatically transferred into the robotic cell and are queued for packing. Packages are erected and fed into position where the system will initiate the packing process. Using a custom EoAT, the product is then picked and placed by the robot to the desired package. Once the packaging is complete it will exit the system and the robot will continue the packing process.

Case Packing Robot Benefits

High efficiency
Eliminates ergonomic and repetitive motion problems
Extremely low maintenance
Very flexible for multiple product lines and for future packaging changes
Ability to customize the footprint for many applications
Turnkey installations - Easily integrated with case erectors, case sealers, conveyors, labelers, and fully integrated controls packages
BMH Robotics performs a complete Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) on all equipment prior to shipment to ensure startup is as smooth as possible.
In house End of Arm Tool (EoAT) design and manufacturing capabliites

Case Packing Robot Applications
