Proco Machinery launches new collaborative robot packer to address labor shortages in packaging industry
Proco Machinery Inc., a leading manufacturer of automation systems for the custom bottling and packaging industry, has announced the launch of a new collaborative robot packer to address the growing labor shortages in the packaging industry. The Proco Collaborative Robot Packer promises a one-year payback to customers, making it one of the industry’s most effective solutions for reducing labor costs.
“We understand that labor shortages are becoming more common in the packaging industry, and that manufacturers need solutions that can help them reduce their labor costs and increase efficiency,” said John McCormick, President of Proco Machinery. “Our new collaborative robot packer is designed to be flexible, versatile, and easy to use, helping our customers stay competitive in their markets.”
Over the years, Proco has developed a wide range of labor-saving automated machinery and equipment throughout the U.S. and Canada. But in recent years, the packaging industry has faced a growing labor shortage, and manufacturers are looking for ways to improve productivity while reducing their reliance on manual labor.
The new Proco Collaborative Robot Packer is designed to work alongside human operators to increase efficiency and performance. The new robot packer can perform a range of tasks, from testing containers to packing them into cases. The system is modular and on castors, making it easy to use and flexible in operation. With its state-of-the-art design, the system can be easily adapted to different container shapes and sizes, making it an ideal solution for the growing complexity of packaging applications, says Proco.
