End-of-line packaging palletizing 

Automate packing, sorting, labeling, and palletizing for products of any size—from snack packs to bulk goods. OMRON’s robotics streamline packaging lines, adapting quickly to changing SKUs and handling delicate items with speed and precision. Parallel robots excel at high-speed pick-and-place for fast throughput, collaborative robots ensure safe and gentle handling alongside human workers, SCARA robots sort and assemble small parts, and Viper robots offer precise, high-payload handling for complex palletizing—all supporting efficient, reliable packaging operations.

Autonomous material transport 

Eliminate manual transport bottlenecks with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). AMRs move raw ingredients, packaging supplies, and finished goods between processing, storage, and shipping zones. This eliminates manual cart pushing, improves traceability, and keeps lines supplied without interruption, supporting lean inventory management.

Inspection quality assurance 

Automate inspection and quality control with OMRON’s collaborative robots. Cobots equipped with vision systems work safely alongside your team to inspect for defects, measure fill levels, and verify labeling accuracy. This enables real-time quality checks, reduces human error, streamlines compliance documentation, and helps protect your brand reputation.

Next-generation material handling 

Meet the highest hygiene and safety standards with Mobile Manipulators (MoMas), combining a collaborative robotic arm and AMR for advanced automation in cleanroom and food-safe environments. MoMas automate tasks such as picking items from storage, replenishing production lines, and transferring samples for laboratory testing. Their flexibility supports frequent product changeovers and high-mix, low-volume production environments.
