Packaging robots develop new trends

In the increasingly fierce competition between domestic and international packaging industry, China's packaging industry is moving toward automation. In the face of severe situation, China's packaging industry must increase the technological content of its products, take the path of professional development, and rely on technological progress to promote With the development of the industry and the future development, packaging robots will infiltrate more packaging links in the near future and become the packaging industry's future development trend.

The use of robots is becoming more and more widespread. The use of packaging robots is mainly for the handling, handling and stacking of bulky and bulky objects. Packaging robots are also used for the packaging of clean products that the human body cannot contact, such as foods, medicines, especially biological products and microbial preparations, and chemical raw materials that are harmful to the human body.

With the maturity of robotics and the realization of industrialization, the scope of application of robots in the field of packaging engineering is becoming wider and wider. According to the latest survey report from PMMI Consulting, the robotic robot technology helps derive new jobs, improves production safety and enhances industry productivity, and the combination of packaging and processing technology is a new trend in the robot market in 2014.

Through in-depth dialogue with 100 local OEMs, assembly companies, robot manufacturers and industry experts, the report disclosed the application of robots, expected benefits and other circumstances. Packaging robots are one of the rapidly developing industries in the domestic packaging industry in recent years and have gradually presented high-end, large-scale, sophisticated and complex developments. In general, packaging robots have become an important force in promoting China to become a strong manufacturing country for packaging machinery. .

The role of packaging robots in the packaging industry was repositioned. In 2008, the respondents considered the potential of robotics technology from the end of the packaging industry to the front end. By 2014, they redefined the role of robots in the packaging industry and played a major role. effect.

Paula, director of business consulting at PMMI, pointed out that many of the developments in the packaging industry during these years are related to the extensive use of robotics in hardware and software. “What we heard during the interview was consistent with what we saw at the packaging show,” she said. “In 2008, when we conducted the survey, only 20% of manufacturers used robots to replace artificial packaging products. Now, there are 75% of end-users use robotics technology in a certain part of the production line, and their process and technology capabilities have been greatly developed and advanced for food and medicine.

Robots not only have the advantage of replacing labor and reducing operating costs, but also give birth to new jobs. This requires that future workers have a higher level of technology in robot design, function integration, specific operations, and robot maintenance.

In recent years, food safety problems have occurred frequently and consumers have placed higher demands on food packaging. The application of packaging robots in food packaging has avoided the secondary pollution of foods, increased the production efficiency while reducing the company's costs, and met the needs of the automation trend of the packaging industry. It also promoted the automation of the packaging industry to further improve.
