Consumer products often involve high SKU variety and frequent changeovers. Motionwell has delivered cobot-based unloading stations handling mixed SKUs (Coca-Cola, Milo, snacks, detergent) with electromagnet quick-change EOAT that automatically switches between gripper and vacuum modes. We also build SCARA-based panel assembly systems for home appliance manufacturers (P23045 for ifm sensor panels) and end-of-line packaging automation with vision-guided labeling.
We design for flexibility without sacrificing consistency: recipe-driven mode switching on the HMI, modular fixtures that swap in minutes, and vision verification that catches variant mix-ups before they leave the line.
- Cobot unloading stations with auto-adjusting pitch for different package sizes, handling mixed SKUs including beverages, snacks, and household products
- Electromagnet quick-change EOAT with 5-magnet array, pneumatic gripper mode, and vacuum suction mode for automatic tool switching
- End-of-line packaging automation: wrapping, vision-guided labeling, case packing, and palletizing integration
- SCARA robotic assembly for home appliance panels, consumer electronics, and wearable device components with vision-guided alignment
- Changeover time and operator simplicity: recipe-driven mode switching via HMI with no mechanical adjustment needed
- SKU variant management with vision verification of color, label, barcode, and pack content at line speed
- Cost-effective automation that starts semi-auto and scales to full automation as volume grows
- Robust handling for varied packaging materials: carton, plastic, shrink-wrap, bottles, and pouches
- Universal Robots cobot with custom EOAT design combining gripper, vacuum, and electromagnet modes
- OPC-UA and Ethernet/IP communication for line integration and production data exchange
- Vision-based variant verification and label inspection with multi-recipe programming
- Modular fixture design for fast SKU changeover without mechanical rework or special tools
Featured: Cobot Unloading Station with Quick-Change EOAT
Motionwell designed a cobot-based unloading station for a consumer goods distribution center handling mixed SKUs including Coca-Cola, Milo, snacks, and detergent. The system features a 5-magnet electromagnet quick-change EOAT that automatically switches between gripper and vacuum modes depending on the package type, with auto-adjusting pitch for different carton sizes.
- Robot: Universal Robots cobot with custom multi-mode EOAT
- EOAT modes: 5-magnet electromagnet array, pneumatic gripper, vacuum suction
- SKUs: Mixed consumer products (beverages, snacks, household goods)
- Switching: Automatic mode selection based on product type, no manual changeover
