Robotic palletizer stacking sacks on pallets at an agribusiness production line

In shortA key subsidiary of a major agribusiness group palletized sacks manually on several production lines, a labor-intensive task with a high risk of accidents. Robot Industries integrated an Estun robotic palletizer with a 120 kg payload and 2.4 m reach, customized for sacks of different weights and sizes. Productivity rose by up to 20%, operators no longer lift heavy sacks, and throughput increased with less downtime.

The challenge

Sacks were palletized by hand on several production lines.
The work was labor-intensive and physically demanding for operators.
Handling heavy sacks exposed staff to a high risk of workplace accidents.

Client: Subsidiary of a major agribusiness group with 20 companies in five divisions
Industry: Agriculture and feed production
Solution: Estun robotic palletizer, 120 kg payload, 2.4 m reach
Scope: Sack palletizing on multiple production lines
