Background

E-commerce and FMCG packaging lines need more flexibility for multiple SKUs, small batches, and fast case changes. Dedicated case erectors are fast but costly, space-consuming, and slow to modify, making them unfriendly to flexibility-focused smaller factories.

Industry Pain Points

Why Dedicated Erectors Fall Short

Manual case erecting is repetitive, demanding, and inconsistent in speed and forming quality.
Dedicated machines are expensive, large, and require long changeover downtime.
Small and midsize factories need flexible, lower-cost, easy-to-deploy forming solutions.

Why UFACTORY Cobots

Cost and ROI 01

Cost and ROI

Compared with similar cobots, UFACTORY offers competitive hardware cost and a smaller footprint, improving procurement, integration, and payback for packaging lines.

Plug-and-Play Setup 02

Plug-and-Play Setup

The ISO flange and standard I/O support vacuum tools and integration with forming, carton feeding, conveying, and sealing equipment.

Open Development 03

Open Development

ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs help integrators develop case erecting processes and coordinate upstream and downstream packaging equipment.

Flexible Changeover 04

Flexible Changeover

Lightweight construction, drag teaching, and graphical programming support fast relocation, layout adjustment, and response to order changes.

Safe Collaboration 05

Safe Collaboration

Collision detection enables deployment alongside operators without large safety fencing, saving valuable floor space in compact packaging lines.

Stable Forming Cycle 06

Stable Forming Cycle

The robot completes pick, erect, fold-bottom, and seal-bottom cycles at a consistent rhythm, reducing manual speed variation and forming defects.

Labor Value Release 07

Labor Value Release

Automating repetitive case forming helps reduce back and wrist strain, staffing pressure, and capacity bottlenecks.
