A robot producing cardboard packaging templates at the upholstered furniture manufacturing company GRAFŲ BALDAI
The company GRAFŲ BALDAI manufactures upholstered and bespoke cabinet furniture. The company packages furniture in recyclable cardboard packaging. The ability to use the industrial robot RoboCut in the production of cardboard packing allows to pack each product into packages of the desired size. By using this robotic solution, the company avoids minimum order quantities (MOQ) from suppliers and can produce packages based on the current day’s demand, saving storage space. It also reduces the cost of packaging and ensures smoother supply since only raw cardboard needs to be purchased instead of ready-made packages.
The software developed by Industrial Robotics Company automatically determines the optimal layout of packaging templates on the raw cardboard sheet (nesting), reducing waste in the packaging production process and making the company’s manufacturing process more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Different ways the RoboCut solution increases the efficiency of packaging production:
- The robotic solution used in the production of cardboard templates can operate autonomously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without any interruption.
- Custom size packaging is produced locally on demand for each product as needed; There is no need to stockpile the templates of cardboard packaging.
- The amount of waste in the production of cardboard packaging is reduced.
- Manufacturing packaging from raw cardboard sheets reduces the cost of packaging.
- Dependence on external suppliers is reduced.
- Product delivery to the customer is easier to plan.
- User-friendly interface.
The easy-to-use graphical interface controlling the robot ensures that any employee of the company can place the order for the packaging production without any special skills in controlling the robot. Depending on the customer’s needs, the packaging can be produced in accordance with the FEFCO standard or in custom dimensions.
