Case Study: Natura boosts packaging speed and ergonomics with Universal Robots

Natura packages 70 products per minute with Universal Robots

Natura, Brazil's largest cosmetics multinational, faced automation challenges on its EKOS production line, where the manual packing process was repetitive, ergonomically difficult, and required two employees. They partnered with Universal Robots to implement a UR12e collaborative robot to solve these issues.

Universal Robots provided a flexible solution where the UR12e cobot handles the packaging of eight different products through a quick-change tool system. This implementation resulted in the robot packing 70 products per minute, a significant increase in speed. The entire integration was completed in 120 days, improving ergonomics and delivering a quick payback on investment for Natura.
