The solution needed the capability to pick and pal- letize multiple case variations and pallet configurations. Colbert also needed to manage multiple tier sheets and pallet types. RōBEX’s expertise and design approach led to the creation of a unique End-of-Arm Tool (EOAT) that proficiently handles all requirements. The RōBEX solution included a design blueprint, integration plan and meticu- lous cycle time calculations before final implementation. “Our pharmaceutical and consumer goods custom- ers expect their secondary packaging supplier to invest in technology to maximize capacity and capabilities, and improve quality and responsiveness,” said Colbert Pres- ident & COO John Lackner. “In keeping with the ‘Expect Innovation’ theme at Pack Expo this year, we look forward to introducing and utilizing this innovative investment in technology to enhance our operations and our customer experience.” By taking on the burden of heavy lifting, the automat- ed picking and packing system helps safeguard the health and safety of Colbert associates by minimizing the risk of workplace injuries. This helps fosters a more sustainable work environment, decreasing physical strain for associ- ates, reducing turnover and offering alternative options for associates. “This collaboration with Colbert was both challenging and inspiring,” said RōBEX Director of National Accounts Rob Johnson. “Together, we’ve managed to craft a solu- tion that optimizes pick-and-pack operations, addressing existing challenges and paving the way for future innova- tions.” For more information, visit colbertpkg.com .
