End-of-line automation
KernPack has announced an exclusive distribution deal with Skilled Group, enabling it to sell its range of robotic palletising systems and automatic guided vehicles in the UK and Ireland.
Designed for automated warehousing and truck loading, Skilled Group’s products are already used around the world by Bridgestone, Coca-Cola, Nestlè, Unilever and Johnson & Johnson in installations costing up to €10m.
The company’s wide range of robotic equipment includes articulated robotic arms, gantry and SCARA robots for automatic palletising of products or pallet handling and AGVs for any situation where a traditional forklift truck is used.
“KernPack will be targeting warehouse and distribution centres, manufacturers and food companies, which are looking to automate the end of production lines and loading bay operations to reduce operating costs, increase efficiency and reduce the risk of injury,” says Pete Jolley, general manager at KernPack. “Skilled Group has more than 40 years experience in the design and manufacture of innovative robotic solutions, which makes it the class leader and a perfect partner to enable us to offer end-to-end solutions.”
