Our robotic workstations exemplify this approach. For skilled workers, these systems enable an increase in productivity and quantity. For unskilled workers, our technology allows them to achieve quality results equivalent to those of a skilled professional. This dual benefit not only mitigates the impact of the skills gap but also ensures consistent, high-quality outcomes across the board. Automation, therefore, is not merely a tool for efficiency but a strategic solution for maintaining and elevating quality standards in an evolving market.
E.E: What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
The BGM-lite, a compact blister belt packaging machine, stands out as one of the most innovative products in its category. Designed for flexibility and efficiency, it caters to a wide range of blister belt widths from 8 to 200 mm. Whether used manually or integrated into semi- and fully automated processes, its modular construction ensures optimal usability even in environments with frequently changing products and carrier media.
What makes the BGM-lite particularly innovative is its ergonomic design and user-friendly features. The layout of controls, along with a spacious, well-lit workspace free from obstruction, facilitates quick setup and focused operation. For manual belt loading, tools like hand vacuum suction cups are available, while semi-automatic feeding systems for component pre-sorting from bulk are also offered.
Furthermore, the machine can be enhanced with optional functionalities such as automatic tray or rod loading, as well as repackaging from blister belts. It includes a variety of process monitoring and inspection devices to ensure quality and efficiency.
In summary, the BGM-lite stands at the forefront of innovation in blister belt packaging, combining flexibility, ergonomic design, and advanced automation options to meet diverse industrial needs effectively.
