[Industry Dynamics] As global manufacturing deeply transforms towards Industry 4.0, achieving "unmanned" and "intelligent" production lines has become a core competitive advantage for enterprises. Among numerous industrial robot solutions, fully automated gantry robots, with their high precision, high speed, and extremely high space utilization, are becoming the absolute prot……
In the industrial landscape of 2026, collaborative robots (or cobots) have shifted from being a niche innovation to a cornerstone of the "Industry 5.0" philosophy—a model that prioritizes the synergy between human creativity and machine precision. Unlike traditional industrial robots that operate in isolation, cobots are designed to share a workspace with humans, unlocking a ……
Choosing the right palletizer in 2026 is no longer just about "how fast can it stack boxes." With the rise of AI-driven vision and flexible manufacturing, the decision now balances raw throughput with the ability to handle mixed SKUs and shifting warehouse layouts. Use this 4-step framework to determine which system fits your operation. Step 1: Conduct a "Product Audit"……
A Column-Mounted Palletizer is a specialized piece of automation that uses a central vertical mast (the column) and a rotating, telescoping, or pivoting arm to stack goods onto pallets. Unlike traditional 6-axis industrial robots or massive layer palletizers, column systems are designed for high-density efficiency. Here is how they improve packaging efficiency across the p……
In the long process of logistics automation, container loading and unloading (unpacking and packing) was once considered an "automation wasteland." Due to the diverse types of goods, irregular stacking, and the extreme working environment inside containers, this step has long relied on intensive manual labor. However, with breakthroughs in AI, 3D vision, and flexible drive……
For plastic granules (resins), a Column Depalletizing & Emptying System is a specialized automation cell designed to take pallets of 25kg (or 50lb) bags and convert them into a continuous stream of raw material for extruders, injection molding machines, or silos. Unlike bottle depalletizers that move layers, this system focuses on destructive unpacking: picking a bag, ……
A Bag Depalletizer is an automated system designed to unload heavy sacks or bags (containing materials like cement, flour, chemicals, or plastic resins) from a pallet and transfer them onto a conveyor or into a processing unit. Because bags are non-rigid, prone to shifting, and vary in texture (paper, plastic, or woven poly), bag depalletizing is one of the most technicall……
Palletizing robots offer significant advantages over both manual labor and traditional, fixed mechanical palletizers: Increased Throughput & Efficiency: Robots work continuously (24/7) without fatigue or breaks, consistently matching and often exceeding the speed of high-volume production lines. Superior Safety & Ergonomics: They eliminate the physically demandi……
Automatic palletizers are essential end-of-line machines that automatically organize, stack, and secure finished products onto pallets. They are designed to automate the strenuous, repetitive task of manual stacking, dramatically increasing efficiency, speed, and load stability. Here is a breakdown of what automatic palletizers can do and what they can handle (the types of……
In machining production lines, the level of automation in the workpiece unloading process directly impacts the overall production pace and personnel allocation. To improve the automation level of its unloading process, an automotive parts manufacturer partnered with Tongli Industrial to introduce a cantilever gantry robot system for workpiece unloading. Tongli developed th……
