Overcoming Challenges: Our Solutions

The Problem

Korea Pelagic was looking for ways to solve labor challenges and improve its palletizing process. The labor shortages were particularly affecting the palletizing task, which involved stacking boxes 2 meters high in a cold environment. A difficult and unrewarding task which resulted in a high turnover.

The Solution

Korea Pelagic used the Robotiq Palletizing Solution to optimize their palletizing process, reduce the strain on their workforce, and increase productivity by 200%.
