Process Overview

This solution is a packaging process that uses the Hyundai Robotics YS080L to palletize pharmaceutical cartons onto pallets and perform wrapping (stretch wrapping). As an optimized turnkey packaging solution delivered by KT, it can be deployed with a low initial implementation cost, and by integrating with KT’s smart-factory platform Factory Makers, you can introduce a smart-factory system alongside the automation cell.

Through this solution, automated palletizing of heavy beverage cartons improved handling speed/throughput and helped prevent operator musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Implementation Results

ROI Period	1.4 years
Key Metrics	Increased productivity by enabling continuous operation with no idle/non-value-added work. Prevented operator musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by eliminating heavy-load material handling tasks
Client Feedback	Heavy-load handling was difficult for operators to perform continuously and was often avoided, but robot automation removed the high-burden task, significantly reduced cycle time, and greatly improved productivity.
