TIDI Products revolutionized their processes with 5 Robotiq Palletizing Solutions
If I was to go back in time to give myself some advice, I’d say ‘Do it sooner.’ Sure, there are upfront costs, but it’s very easily justifiable and it’s very beneficial to the business and people

The Problem

One person, two separate tasks: filling AND palletizing boxes. Inefficient operationally, undesirable workwise. Production slowed, delivery deadlines blown, and orders turned down due to backlog, resulting in revenue losses.

The Solution

TIDI Products upgraded to end-of-line automation. Picked Robotiq for their user-friendly software tool, AX Series cobot and 7th axis coordinated motion, and incorporated five palletizing units across their production lines.

The Results

The Robotiq solution

Robotiq's Palletizing Solution provided TIDI Products with the flexibility they needed for various applications.

  • Safety and consistency: Reducing the physical strain on workers means they can stay healthy and productive for longer.
  • Flexibility: Robotiq Palletizing Solution’s user-friendly interface also allowed operators to gain control over robotic processes quickly and intuitively.
  • Productivity: The productivity gains from the first palletizing cell were 30%, which is very impressive. Subsequent cells have increased by a similarly impressive 25%.

The Robotiq solution

Walt Machine installed a Robotiq 2-Finger 140 Gripper on a UR10 cobot to tend CNC machines around the clock, which doubled daily production.
