Case Studies
SACMI Partners with KEBA for multi-robot automation packaging lines
// Customer Success - SACMI increases packaging speed by over 15% with KEBA integrated robotics 
SACMI is an international group and the world’s leading supplier of advanced technologies for the ceramics, plastics, food & beverage, metals, packaging and advanced materials sectors. Headquartered in Imola, Italy
// 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

Discover the potential cost savings of robotic automation over a 20-year system life
This calculator compares your current manual labor costs against the total cost of owning and operating a robotic system over its 20-year lifespan.
“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
