Case Studies

End-customer: Toms Group A/S

Country: Denmark

Partner: None

Application: Case packing of chocolate bars

Specification:

• Product weight: 35 grams

• Packing speed: 110 picks/min

• Working hour: 1 shifts

Solution: Nordbo Cube; guided with laser vision system

Why Nordbo:

• Teach function: enable a worker to “program” the system to handle a new product. It adds flexibility for the system to handle the season produced products.

• Mobility: Customers are able to move the system in between production lines. Or even move it away when not used or when cleaning the factory floor.

• Compact, but high speed performance

• Scalability: The system can work along side with human when over capacity (pack with max speed and let the products that were not picked by the robot, pass through to be packed manually), or add up multiple cubes together in order to increase capacity.

Customer Feedback:

"With regard to the purpose of increasing flexibility in production, the robot has done it very well. In fact, it has prompted us to think about other product lines too. For example, the more seasonal products where the robot cell can be installed for a period and reprogrammed into a new packaging line. We have got our own interface, which we can operate – something we could not do before, so that is an advantage for us. The cooperation with Leo and Lukasz was really good – they have listen to our feedback, and now they are heading home to work on the adjustments, that our people have provided along the way. Then we have to test again - maybe also on unpackaged products that require a little more according to the rules on food handling. In the end, we expect our cooperation to lead to orders from our side. " - Ole Viemose Larsen, Technical Project Manager
