Comau + PROMAG (case013)
Regional Dairy Cooperative in Kalisz (OSM Kalisz) has implemented a comprehensive system of product transportation, palletizing, packaging and storage, one of the most advanced solutions of this type in the dairy industry in Poland. The system incorporates Promag warehouse and intra-logistic solutions and the innovative robots of Comau.
Our approach
At OSM Kalisz, the palletization area is located in a separate building with three independent robot cells to which the conveyors deliver pallets and buckets. A stairway leading to a mezzanine over the transmission lines facilitates traffic and access to the line, as well as provides an excellent observation point for the area management.
Each robot cell has been fitted with:
- Conveyors,
- Pallet stackers,
- Three-section roller conveyors,
- Spacer storage,
- PAL robots
- NJ robot.
Two Comau PAL 260 robots handle palletizing of yoghurt trays. These are four-axle robots with a reinforced fifth axle to ensure that the level gripper stays parallel to the floor. To this end, an NJ 165 six-axis robot is used to move buckets with raw material. Comau was charged with supplying the robots, with Promag being responsible for their installation, including selection of robotic fixtures and software development.
Moreover, the palletizing station has also been equipped with an integrated pallet replacement system which allows for loading of up to 45 europallets delivered to the appropriate loading station by the transfer system and conveyors. Pallets are automatically replaced at each of the stations.
