ABB Robots Check All Boxes, Helping to Make Packaging Company More Productive.

Less than an hour away from the Detroit-Windsor border in Canada lies Orora Fresh, a global packaging company who provides plastic and corrugated cardboard packaging solutions around the world. The combination of a need to boost productivity, hiring challenges, and the desire to boost the quality of work for existing employees, inspired Windsor-based integrator AIS Technologies to come up with a system that enables Orora Fresh to achieve these goals. The system deploys 2 IRB 4600 robots, filling the job of stacking the boxes up to the max height allowed in transport vehicles thus avoiding repetitive strain injuries and saving employees from having to reach overhead. The system also boosts efficiency and quality. By automatically detecting and removing defects from the line, Orora Fresh is able to ensure its product meets their quality standards for each and every pallet. ABB and AIS Technology Group are proud to have partnered on numerous solutions over the years to help manufacturers and producers maximize production, especially in the face of changing labour and economic market conditions.
