Benefits of FANUC Robots and Cobots for Picking and Packing
Flexible Automation
FANUC’s fully customizable iRPickTool software makes it easy for FANUC robots to adapt to your picking and packaging operations, including multiple conveyors varying products, as well as packaging configurations and line set-ups.
Higher Productivity with Intelligent Vision
FANUC’s cobots and robots have the highest reliability performance in the industry and can significantly boost packaging productivity. Our pick and pack robots can be linked to either single or multiple 2D cameras or 3D sensors, while state-of-the-art robotic vision systems enable robots to identify, sort and select random objects on a conveyor according to location, color, shape or size.
Intuitive Picking and Packing
When picking a product, humans instinctively select which option is closest and easiest to reach, then position themselves in the best way for the easiest picking and fastest results. FANUC’s automated picking tools are built to emulate this natural understanding of picking and packing.
Speed and Efficiency
The speed and consistency of FANUC’s pick and place robots contribute to faster packaging cycles, allowing you to meet tight production deadlines and scale your operations seamlessly.
