The Challenge: Automating Picking in Demanding Environments 

AUTTIN Engineering faced the challenge of automating the picking of frozen pet food products, a process that required high speed and accuracy without the use of machine vision systems. The handling of frozen food added complexity, as the product characteristics demanded a solution that combined reliability and adaptability. 

The Solution: Yaskawa Delta MPP3H Robots and TRC1000 Controller 

To address this challenge, AUTTIN Engineering relied on Yaskawa's Delta MPP3H robots, known for their ability to operate at high speed in demanding environments. In addition, they developed a customised tool that allowed them to accurately pick frozen products, eliminating the need for vision systems. The TRC1000 controller provided efficient and safe process management, ensuring maximum productivity.

Results: Transformation and Operational Efficiency

The implementation of the Delta MPP3H robots and the customised solution developed by AUTTIN Engineering had a significant impact:

  • Increased Productivity: Processing capacity was increased, managing to handle more products in less time.
  • Accuracy and Consistency: Automation reduced human error, ensuring uniform and safe handling of frozen food.
  • Resource Efficiency: Improved processes enabled more effective allocation of staff to higher value-added tasks.

 

Benefits for the Food Industry

Thanks to this solution, AUTTIN Engineering not only managed to optimise its picking system, but also set a new standard for performance and flexibility in the food industry. Delta robots proved to be a key tool to address the specific challenges of the sector, significantly improving operational efficiency and quality.

AUTTIN Engineering and Yaskawa have demonstrated that innovation and collaboration are essential to overcome the challenges of modern industry, setting a precedent for the future of automation.
