Case Study: Rev-A-Shelf achieves faster palletizing ROI with Vention robotic automation

Rev-A-Shelf - Customer Case Study

Rev-A-Shelf, a leading innovator of residential cabinet storage products, faced labor shortages and needed a lean automation solution for its low- to mid-volume, high-mix operation with frequent SKU and box-size changeovers. The company partnered with Vention to find an easy-to-use palletizing system that could support production without requiring a dedicated technician.

Vention implemented two industrial robot palletizers serving four production lines, using FANUC M-710iC robots, roller conveyors, a custom vacuum gripper, and MachineApp software for simple pallet configuration and operation. The result was 8 operators reallocated to higher-value work, more than 5,700 SKUs palletized, over $150K in annual savings, and ROI achieved in under 20 months, with the first palletizer deployed in just 6 months.
