Case Study: Eklego achieves 30% higher efficiency in box packaging and palletising with Piab Kenos® grippers

Eklego boosts packaging productivity 30% with Piab

Eklego, a company specializing in automation and robotics systems, faced a challenge with gripping reliability in their end-of-line packaging process, particularly when handling large, heavy boxes that required a 180-degree rotation. To automate this previously manual task, they turned to vendor Piab and its Kenos® KVG and KVGL series of grippers.

The solution implemented by Piab involved installing four configurable Kenos® grippers to pick up packages, place them into boxes, and then palletize the finished boxes of various sizes. This resulted in a 30% increase in efficiency for Eklego. Piab's technology provided superior performance and safety compared to other options, justifying the investment and leading to high customer satisfaction.
