Norway's Ello turns to robots for an automation solution

Filling, insertion into trays, secondary packaging, and palletizing of tubes is done at 155 tubes/min by a tightly integrated series of robotic systems that require only one operator.
Each robotic end effector picks 30 empty tubes per cycle and places them in the pucks on the racetrack carrier.
