The packaging industry has to adapt its production quickly and flexible to the individual requirements of changing product batches. Many repetitive tasks are often performed manually, because batch sizes are too small to justify the complex and time consuming reprogramming common to traditional robotic automation. Our software solutions enable the people on the shop floor to intuitively programme the robot. Through this approach, individual and specific process know-how of the operator can be integrated directly into the automatic fabrication process. At the same time the operator – freed from repetitive tasks – can perform more sophisticated jobs.
