Case Study: MAXPRO achieves 20% faster palletizing cycles with Piab’s Kenos® KVGL gripper

MAXPRO cuts palletizing cycle times by 20% with Piab

Maxpro, a manufacturer of end-of-line automation machines, faced a challenge with a slow and unreliable palletizing process for flour bags at a leading French company's plant. Their previous gripper, which used multiple suction cups, frequently dropped products due to dimensional differences between bags. Piab provided its Kenos KVGL foam gripper to solve this issue.

Piab's solution provided maximum flexibility in the gripping layout, which eliminated product drops and did not deform the bags. This implementation resulted in a 20% reduction in cycle times for Maxpro's customer. The technical advice from Piab's distributor and the ability to test the solution beforehand were also noted as crucial benefits.
