Success Story Palletizing with DE-VAU-GE: Increased efficiency and cost savings

‍

The recruitment of workers, both at the level of help and skilled workers, is designed for DE-VAU-GE extremely difficult. The main goal was to reduce the use of auxiliary workers. Ergonomics in the workplace are problematic and lead to stressful working conditions, particularly in the final packaging, as work is done manually in this area. The automation of handling processes is therefore of great importance.

‍

Due to the increasing shortage of workers and physically demanding and unattractive jobs, DE-VAU-GE was looking for simple automation solutions. The focus was on high availability combined with easy operation for both users and technicians.

‍

Actively address the shortage of skilled workers

‍

DE-VAU-GE was chosen by RobCo due to the short implementation period and the attractive price-performance ratio.

‍

The automation solution was individually adapted to DE-VAU-GE's requirements and fits seamlessly into the hall layout. The modularity does not require an oversized and therefore more expensive system.

‍

“With a comprehensive RobCo automation solution in the area of palletizing, we can actively address the ongoing shortage of skilled workers in particular technologically and at the same time save costs.”

Increasing efficiency and reducing costs per shift

‍

By implementing RobCo, it was possible to reduce the number of jobs per shift, which corresponds to a saving of one workstation per shift — a total of 3 FTE. These workers can now be deployed elsewhere more efficiently and profitably.

‍

Following the implementation phase, the robot now runs extremely reliably and makes a significant contribution to increasing efficiency in the company. Each robot used can reduce costs per shift and pay for itself within 6 months.
