KUKA cherry tomato production and packaging robot

Three KUKA palletizing robots stack cardboard boxes at the end of the production line, enabling Savéol to distribute fruits and vegetables across France.
Savéol's Automated Revolution in Produce Packaging! 🍅💪
Savéol, a cooperative specializing in the production and sale of fruits and vegetables (especially tomatoes and strawberries), has been supplying French supermarkets and hypermarkets for 40 years and exporting to Germany, Poland, Russia, the UAE, and Asia.

In early 2020, Savéol invested in a new automated stacking tool, combining agility, simplicity, and repeatability.

Challenges:

Space Constraints: Adapting robots to specific, pre-designed spaces.
Process Integration: Integrating the solution with existing processes, from packaging lines to finished goods storage.
Solution:

Partners: Collaboration with KUKA and system integrator AB Process.
System Features: High adaptability of 3 KUKA robots to meet all requirements.
Complementary Systems 🤝

Robot-Human Synergy:
Robots handle tomato box stacking at the end of the production line, transporting them to storage.
Robot training enhances job skills rather than causing unemployment, transforming laborious tasks into higher-skilled operations.
Advantages:

Labor Savings: Allocating human resources to order preparation and transportation along the production chain.
Efficiency Boost: Automation accelerates production, maintaining optimal performance.
Savéol's automation innovation brings new energy and market competitiveness! 🚀🍓
