Case Study: MAXPRO achieves faster, more reliable palletizing with Piab's Kenos® KVGL gripper

MAXPRO reduces palletizing cycle times by 20% with Piab

Maxpro, a manufacturer of end-of-line automation systems, faced a challenge with an unreliable and slow palletizing process for flour bags in a food application. Their previous gripper, which used multiple suction cups, frequently dropped products due to dimensional differences between bags. To solve this, they implemented a Kenos KVGL gripper from Piab.

Piab's solution utilized a foam-based Kenos KVGL gripper, which provided maximum flexibility in the gripping layout. This new system eliminated product drops and avoided damaging the bags. The implementation resulted in a 20% reduction in cycle times, significantly increasing the efficiency of Maxpro's palletizing operation.
