Design Notes

GROUP has developed robotic solutions for order processing and warehousing in the food and beverage, retail, e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and postal services sectors. With CIMCORP’s robot solutions, companies from the food industry and other segments can specify and accelerate processes in order processing and shipping. For fresh food, this means that perishable products reach the market faster and have a longer shelf life, leading to less food waste.

The company was an early partner and adopter of the ctrlX AUTOMATION platform and helped actively shape a specific solution for intralogistics. The core component here is the gantry robot used in various applications in their operations.

According to Jani Tuomola, Head of Machine Development at CIMCORP, the company already had a close business relationship with Bosch Rexroth, so they were well prepared to transition to ctrlX AUTOMATION.

“Bosch Rexroth had previously supplied control systems to CIMCORP, and we were always very happy with the quality of the products and the service and support o ered,” he said.

CIMCORP realized multiple benefits from using the new platform as the automation controller for its gantry robot. The control cabinet space was reduced by 30%, and the arrangement of the control cabinet components was optimized to save space compared to the previous system.

The open control system for integrating IoT and security enabled CIMCORP to implement easy connections to logistics software. CIMCORP also uses the ctrlX CORE control platform, which is integrated into the drive in a space-saving manner, and the ctrlX MOTION software for Cartesian robots DW
