Rotzinger Group, a leading provider of automation solutions, is launching its highly advanced Robot with an Integrated Buffer and its Hygienic Conveyor for dry cleaning The technologies will be showcased at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, at booth SU-7113 from Sept 11-13

Leveraging decades of expertise in pick and place delta robots, buffering and conveying, the new integrated solution from Rotzinger combines flexibility, compactness and ease of operation to boost uptime and reduce total cost of ownership Designed for confectionery and bakery products, the hygienic conveyor is optimized for dry cleaning, ensuring compliance with stringent food safety regulations in U S manufacturing

According to a recent PMMI report, 60 percent of consumer-packaged goods respondents highlighted a lack of available labor as a significant factor driving interest in automated solutions Surprisingly, nearly 70 percent of American CPG companies still rely on highly manual or semiautomated production processes

With its modular design and flexibility, this integrated solution combines delta robots, buffers and conveyors in one cell with reduced footprint, enabling greater efficiency, productivity and cost effectiveness The use of a single controller and a unified setup philosophy enables hasslefree maintenance and straightforward operation, eliminating the need for complex programming or extensive training
