What Are The Disadvantages Of Using A Robot Palletiser?

Ideally, a single compact machine would be able to perform all your production tasks. While a machine like this could be created in the future, current models will perform certain tasks better than others. When combined in a production line, they’ll achieve a higher overall throughput rate than an ‘all in one’ packing machine. If you’re in the market for a robot palletiser, knowing its disadvantages will allow you to customise it to your needs or find a better performing model.

A well installed and maintained robot palletiser will have a long working lifespan but a high initial investment cost. Its cost will go beyond what you pay for the machine upfront or every month.

You’ll need to consider the time you’ll spend installing the machine and any other delays or costs it might involve. If your usage won’t recoup your costs in a certain period, you might be better off renting one.

Operating a robot palletiser requires a specialised skill set. Usually the palletiser’s supplier will organise training for your staff when it’s installed and tested.
