In conjunction with the drive by the
British Automation and Robot
Association (BARA) on behalf of UK
Government, CKF Systems has
developed a low cost robotic packing
system designed to increase the takeup
of automation within British
industry.

The system is aimed at SMEs
where there has been a reluctance to
embrace such technologies, providing
them with a user-friendly and flexible
operation to reduce production costs
through improved efficiencies and
quality control. Designed around a
standard robot cell with integrated
product and case handling interfaces,
the system is designed to enable more
UK businesses to compete more
effectively at home and
internationally.
“Our ready-made, low cost robotic
packing system doesn’t require highly
skilled operators, it is easily
maintained and utilises a relatively
small area of any shop floor,” explains
Ian Schofield at CKF Systems.
