Food Packaging Industry
Industry Overview
China's food packaging automation market continues to grow rapidly; food is the largest application segment of the packaging industry, accounting for 35% of it. Palletizing equipment is growing at over 11% per year. Dairy products, bottled water, condiments, pre-prepared meals, and grain and oil are the core demand segments. Leading brands have completed whole-line automation retrofits, and demand from small and medium-sized plants is now being released in concentrated waves.
iNexBot Intelligent Palletizing System in Production
Industry Pain Points
Manual palletizing is slow and physically demanding, cannot sustain 24-hour continuous production, and causes warehouse inbound congestion during peak arrivals, capping overall capacity
Rough manual grasping easily crushes cartons, dents barrels, or tears packaging bags, driving up damage costs; poor standardization leads to frequent wrong or missed stacking, failing food traceability requirements
Insufficient line adaptability — traditional fixed palletizers fit only a single carton size, and multi-variety changeover commissioning takes too long to cope with frequent product switches
Food workshops must be clean and oil-free, and impurities carried in by workers pose hygiene risks
Solution Advantages
Robot payload up to 50KG, directly replacing heavy manual labor for picking and palletizing; supports 24-hour uninterrupted stable operation, with sponge suction cups providing gentle gripping that effectively reduces packaging damage
One-click product recipe switching — the system automatically generates the matching pallet pattern, with changeover commissioning completed in under 5 minutes
Operating speed up to 12 cycles per minute with an hourly output of up to 720 cycles, boosting line throughput
Equipped with laser safety radar that stops immediately when a person is detected; combined with force-controlled anti-collision, the arm brakes instantly on contact — fully protecting personnel, goods, and equipment
Hardware Overview
The hardware is based on the control system (C2200-A02) plus an industrial-grade display (XPC-NC-150)
Control System: C2200-A02
