Project Alpha - Development of Robotic Palletizer
FY 2018-19 · 2018-08-06
Summary
No solutions exist for automatically loading bagged root vegetables in specialty containers. The current standard is to load them by hand. Hand loading skids is a labour intensive process, making it very expensive; especially in the current labour market. Through automation, we will substantially reduce palletizing costs, improving Packhouse profitability.

Description
No solutions exist for automatically loading bagged root vegetables in specialty containers. The current standard is to load them by hand. Hand loading skids is a labour intensive process, making it very expensive; especially in the current labour market. Through automation, we will substantially reduce palletizing costs, improving Packhouse profitability.
Description (French)
Aucune solution n'existe pour charger automatiquement les légumes-racines ensachés dans des conteneurs spécialisés. La norme actuelle consiste à les charger à la main. Le chargement manuel des palettes est un processus, qui demande beaucoup de travail, ce qui le rend très coûteux. en particulier dans le marché du travail actuel. Grâce à l'automatisation, nous réduirons considérablement les coûts de palettisation, améliorant ainsi la rentabilité de Packhouse.
