// Packaging Industry Pain Points - Seperate PLC and Robotics control system increase cost and lower production

• The packaging industry is facing more complex packaging applications
• Packaging applications require multiple robots and motion axis to be coordinated 
• Multiple controllers (PLCs, Robots, safety, and Motion) create complex programming and delays in control due to communications
• Many applications now require custom kinemtics to go beyond traditional robot arms

// Problem > Solution - SACMI reached speed and cost reduction limitation with non-integrated automation and robotic controllers

“Our ‘stress point’ is that we need to use many different kinds of kinematics and robot brands to fulfill the complex tasks high-end customers demand of us. Until recently, we focused on delta robotics only”. The KEBA robotics platform supports several ready-to-use kinematics in multi-robot environments. Modular at both hardware and software level, it allows customers to design line concepts without being limited by the maximum number of robots that can be used.

// Customer Benefits - SACMI has been able to expand into large machine sizes and complete packaging lines

• +15% production speed with +30 robot in packaging lines
• Reduced engineering for specific customer packaging lines
• One program and one controller for the complete system
• No latency between controller, robotics, and motion - sychronized
• Safety rated motion that is coordinated across the complete machine
