Automated packaging line from the Prewa company

Automated Car Key Packaging with Prewa's Spatial Gantry Solution

Prewa, a leader in packaging systems, developed an automated solution to ensure reliable handling and packaging of car keys. At the customer’s request, Prewa implemented a spatial gantry, capable of feeding up to 25 packaging bags per minute into a picking crate with precision. Once filled, the crate is automatically placed on a buffer belt for further processing. Originally considering an articulated-arm robot, the final solution proved more efficient and cost-effective with gantry technology, offering faster feeding times at half the cost of a robotic arm.

What is the Application?

The system automates car key packaging, ensuring speed, accuracy, and reliability in workflows for accessories packaging in the automotive industry.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• Higher Efficiency: Handles up to 25 bags per minute, increasing throughput.

• Cost Savings: Gantry technology is significantly cheaper than robotic arms.

• Precise Handling: Guarantees accurate placement of packaging bags.

What are the Advantages of the Gantry?

The spatial gantry delivers:

• Faster Operation: Achieves quicker feeding times for packaging applications.

• Reliable Performance: Designed for continuous operation in demanding workflows.

• Lower Costs: Provides high efficiency at reduced investment costs.

Optimizing Packaging Lines with Spatial Gantry Automation

Prewa's choice of a low-cost spatial gantry over an articulated-arm robot highlights its commitment to tailored, efficient solutions. The automated packaging line demonstrates how gantry technology can enhance performance, reduce costs, and streamline workflows for industries requiring precision and reliability.
