Case Study: Global Candy Company achieves lower pallet-move costs and positive ROI with Vecna Robotics

Private global candy company moves 1500 per day at 80 cents per move

A major global candy company faced an unprecedented spike in demand and pursued an aggressive digital transformation agenda to automate its manufacturing and distribution networks. The company engaged Vecna Robotics to implement a solution using their AFL robots to help achieve key performance targets with minimal operational disruption.

The solution from Vecna Robotics involved an initial deployment of 26 AFL autonomous robots to move double-stacked pallets. This implementation achieved a remarkable cost of 80 cents per pallet moved and $8.20 per hour per robot. The customer reached a positive return on investment in less than seven months, with the solution exceeding all expectations.
