Accurate Box Company has expanded its automation capabilities with the installation of a new mobile palletizing robot from Rigorous Technology. Located in the Finishing Department, this is Accurate Box’s fourth robotic system and is designed to reduce repetitive heavy lifting while supporting production across multiple folder-gluers.
The robot palletizes cases and bundles of finished packaging as they come off the folder-gluer, reducing the manual lifting required by employees. With cases averaging approximately 30 pounds, palletizing throughout a shift can be physically demanding and lead to fatigue and strain over time. The robot can palletize approximately 112 cases per hour, operating faster than manual palletizing while reducing the amount of lifting employees perform throughout a shift. This helps improve ergonomics, reduce physical strain, and support more efficient production.
Unlike a fixed robotic system, this new palletizer is mobile and can be moved between folder-gluers based on production needs. This gives Accurate Box the flexibility to use the robot across multiple lines and jobs rather than dedicating it to a single machine.
Automation supports both the feeding and palletizing sides of Accurate Box’s Finishing Department, with a focus on employee safety, reducing repetitive tasks, and supporting efficient production. The company will continue to identify opportunities where automation can improve both workplace and manufacturing operations.
