The problem, and the fix.
Problem
Packed cases weighed about 12 kg each. Two operators per line took turns stacking them, and fewer people were willing to take the job because of back pain.
Products changed several times a day, and every case size needed its own stacking pattern.
Solution
Each line got one HG-P180-31 with a pallet station on either side. While a full pallet rolls out on one side, the robot keeps stacking on the other.
Stacking patterns are built in Hangyeol Studio from the case sizes, and at changeover the operator just picks one on the pendant. Light curtains guard the pallet exits.
Result
The two robots stack 1,140 cases an hour. Manual lifting is gone, and operators now handle pallet removal and line supervision. Pattern changeover dropped from 30 minutes to 5.
