Food and Beverage Packaging Equipment: How Palletizing Robots Reshape the Efficiency of Stacking Processes?

Purchasing managers of factories, are you still troubled by issues of efficiency and stability in finished product stacking at the final stage of food and beverage production? From boxed drinks to bagged raw materials, palletizing, as a key link connecting production and warehousing, traditional manual work or inefficient equipment often becomes a “bottleneck” restricting full-process automation.

Industry Pain Points: Typical Difficulties in Food and Beverage Palletizing

• High labor intensity in manual palletizing: Workers need to repeatedly carry and stack products, which easily leads to fatigue after a day’s work, resulting in reduced palletizing speed (less than 200 boxes per hour). It is difficult to match the capacity of the front-end packaging line, causing backlogs of finished products.
• Poor precision in manual stacking: Boxed/bagged products are arranged crookedly and stacked unstably, which are prone to collapse during warehousing. The damage rate exceeds 5% during transportation, increasing loss costs.
• Diverse product specifications (such as beverage boxes of different sizes and bagged raw materials with varying weights): Manual switching of stacking methods is error-prone and requires repeated adjustments, affecting efficiency.
• In open working environments, manual work intersects with equipment such as forklifts and conveyors, posing collision risks and high potential for safety accidents.
• Inefficient equipment has poor adaptability and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to product types. High-speed production lines require multiple devices to cooperate, resulting in large floor space and high energy consumption.

Amplified Consequences: Chain Reactions of Palletizing Shortcomings

• Production capacity lag: Palletizing speed cannot keep up with front-end production, forcing the packaging line to reduce speed by 30%, resulting in a daily capacity loss of over 1,000 boxes and missing order delivery deadlines.
• Rising costs: A single production line requires 3-4 palletizing workers, with annual labor costs exceeding 200,000 yuan; product damage, rework, and compensation for safety accidents add an additional 100,000-150,000 yuan in expenses.
• Safety risks: Long-term high-intensity work for workers may cause occupational diseases such as lumbar muscle strain; collapsed stacks may damage equipment or injure personnel, affecting production progress and corporate reputation.
• Lack of standardization: Irregular stacking reduces warehouse space utilization by 20%, decreases transportation load capacity, and increases logistics costs by 15%.
