Case Study of Stacking Application
The innovative use of PalletizeWJ collaborative robot stacker improves ergonomic safety.
Why automated palletizing?
In order to hire and maintain a stable workforce, a cooperative packager hopes to automate the arduous and repetitive task of stacking heavy boxes on their demanding packaging line.
30 lb. Fill the boxes at the rate of 6 boxes per minute. The manual process requires a worker to stack 10800 pounds. an hour!
Pay attention to their reliable workers, innovative cooperative robots set out to find solutions, free existing employees from unsafe tasks that are not ergonomic, and reposition them to more challenging positions in the packaging process.
After studying various solutions, the cooperative robot chooses PalletizeWJ as the cooperative stacker to solve the additional challenges related to the project.
Manual process automation
The goal is to fully automate challenging ergonomic tasks, and once the cases are filled, the solution needs to deal with the remaining end of line processes.
- A new conveyor layout for existing processes and project footprint
- Power solution eliminates all manual movements when full
- Integrate the necessary additional packaging equipment into the turnkey packaging line
- Stack boxes weighing up to 30 pounds and stack them above 70 inches
Design solution
Integration of existing production lines
Designed to integrate with existing processes, the conveyor delivers the product directly to the new manual packaging station.
Power transmission system
Consistent with the new manual packing station, the power conveyor line automatically moves the heavy boxes downstream, eliminating unsafe movement that does not conform to ergonomics.

result
Using PalletizeWJ as a stacker, the cooperative robot can easily automatically stack 30 pound boxes at a speed of 6 per minute, freeing up reliable labor to handle safer and more challenging positions in the packaging process.
By using the expertise and services provided by the engineers of Wangjing Technology, the process of sealing, weighing and labeling has also been automated, removing additional unsafe processes that are not ergonomic from the packaging line.
In addition, by combining the integrated functions of Wangjing Technology, the cooperative packagers obtained the delivery of turnkey packaging lines from a single source, thus eliminating unnecessary costs and confusion in the project.
