Stacker PK manual labor

As the crown jewel of intelligent equipment, robots have become a new economic growth point in the 21st century, and robot technology has also become a commanding point for major enterprises to compete for economic and technological advancement. As an important branch of industrial robots, the future of palletizing robots may seem bright, but can they truly win market favor and which method is more in line with users' interests? Which method is more suitable for users?

Which is the less expensive option compared to manual labor for palletizing machines?

At present, the actual stacking speed of the fastest stacker is between 1200-1300 times per hour. From grabbing objects on the conveyor line to placing them on designated pallets, it takes almost three seconds to complete a stacking task. However, the stacking speed of ordinary workers is between 300-400 bags per hour, which is 2-3 times higher than the working efficiency of the stacker. If the factory operates 24 hours a day, a stacker can accommodate up to 12 workers. Then comes the salary. The salary level of palletizing workers is 3500 Metacomputing per month (the salary level in the central region). The annual salary of a palletizing worker is about 45000 yuan. Of course, some people may say that the palletizer itself is much more expensive, as well as future maintenance costs and so on. Indeed, the palletizing machine itself has a certain price, but for relatively large processing plants, the price of a palletizing machine is still much lower than the labor cost, and the service life of the palletizing machine is about 20 years, and the maintenance cost is not much. So in summary, using palletizers can indeed save costs for enterprises, and the larger the scale of the enterprise, the more significant the benefits of this savings will be.

What is the better palletizing effect between palletizing machines and manual labor?

The stacking effect can be evaluated from two aspects: neatness and height. Due to the urgency of time and errors in accuracy, there is still a certain gap in the neatness of manual stacking compared to robots. At present, the accuracy of palletizing robots is generally controlled at around 1mm, and the palletizing accuracy of fully automatic palletizing machines has reached 0.1mm. Under such high-precision stacking, the stack shape is also very neat. And why do we still need to look at the stacking height? This is closely related to saving warehouse space, and the higher the stacking, the more storage capacity can be saved. Due to its limited height and not being neatly stacked, manual stacking is prone to collapse when reaching a certain height, so the height of manual stacking is less than 2 meters. The stacker can easily reach a stacking height of 2.5m by extending its arm length.

Which is better management for palletizing machines compared to manual labor?

Employee management is generally an important and challenging part of business operations. In addition to employee recruitment and salary distribution, companies also need to consider issues such as "five insurances and one fund" for employees, holiday benefits, and compensation for work-related injuries. Faced with round after round of "labor shortage" problems, enterprises are unable to recruit people and have to fall into a passive state. If employees are replaced with robots, how should companies manage them? Robots, as the name suggests, are machines that can work automatically like humans. Eliminating issues such as manual recruitment, salary distribution, and welfare insurance, robot management only requires technical personnel to operate and maintain, reducing the cost of human resources and reducing the difficulty of management.

With the development of automation and the increase in labor costs in China, the use of palletizing robot equipment will become increasingly widespread. The use of palletizing robots can achieve personnel reduction and efficiency increase, save a considerable amount of human resource costs, and also help enterprises improve their production and operation management levels to international advanced levels. So, do you think it's worth using a stacker instead of manual labor?
