Challenges
Blister trays were delivered in shoe boxes with 20 layers, distributed across two levels with significant positional tolerances. The handling system needed to compensate for these tolerances through sensing and ensure stable picking and transfer to the downstream sealing process.
Our Solution
Shoe boxes are supplied in trolleys with four compartments. A portal system unloads the boxes from the trolley. A robot removes the individual blister trays from the shoe box and loads them into the sealing system. The gripper concept and sensing strategy compensate for the positional variations within each layer.
Special Features
The combination of portal and robot handling enables reliable processing of tray layers with significant variation. The solution provides high autonomy through trolley loading and ensures consistent, precise infeed to downstream processes. The modular architecture allows future expansion to additional formats.
