Nutriset: Reduction in musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) associated with palletizing tasks
We had a two-day production stop while we installed the robot and made the first pallets. So it's extremely simple, extremely facilitated by the fact that it arrives turnkey.

The Problem

Manual post-Covid palletizing posed major challenges for Nutriset. Keen to fully automate its production line, Nutriset faced obstacles such as inconclusive tests due to high payload requirements, limited space, low ceilings, heavy and oversized cartons, as well as pre-cuts on the cartons, which made the process even more complex.

The Solution

While initial trials were inconclusive, the breakthrough came with Robotiq's Palletizing Solution paired with the UR20, which offered the necessary collaborative solution without the need for safety cages making it 100% collaborative. Leveraging Robotiq's expertise and team, Nutriset found the ideal automation configuration to efficiently streamline its palletizing process.
