Robot-controlled packaging of rolls
Koch Robotersysteme, a company specializing in the integration of robotic systems, has developed a complete, automated packaging line for packaging rolls based on Tentoma’s RoRo StretchPack packaging machine.

New materials, more efficient components and digital control concepts are increasingly changing traditional conveyor technology. The focus of many developments is primarily on one goal: reducing overall costs. Considerable expenses are often incurred on the construction site in particular, which, according to industry figures, can account for more than 30 percent of the total costs of a conveyor system.
Automated guided vehicles are increasingly in demand in production and logistics as they automate processes efficiently - but in addition to the vehicle, the right peripherals are also crucial for safe operation. A new solution consisting of a standardized base trolley and individually configurable attachments now meets the manufacturer's specifications for the first time while also enabling flexible applications.
