Automated Facilities

The benefits of robots in industrial automation translate across all industries, from cold storage and processing to medical device sterilization. These benefits include:

• Increased speed to market
• Increased accuracy, flexibility and scalability
• Improved employee safety
• Lowered energy consumption
• Reduced risk of contamination
• Long-term cost reduction

Consider the following scenario: A blast freezing facility handles products to be exported or stored for an extended period of time. Traditionally, this meant a worker had to pick up the bulky cases, put them on pallets, put an egg crate between each pallet, pick up the pallets with a forklift, put them in a freezer, and then came back a couple of days later to take the product out. That consumes a lot of energy, time, people and space. Robotic automation streamlines that process. In this example, a Vertical Reciprocating Transfer (VRT) blast freezing system could get the job done with fewer people while reducing the core temperature of the products faster, minimizing energy consumption and maximizing the building space.

Primus works with businesses to enhance their production intralogistics. For long-term success, it’s better to think about production, packaging and distribution and how they can work better together. Primus brings the entire team to the table, eliminating the need to hire separate engineering and automation firms. In fact, we are one of the few firms with an in-house robotic automation design team complete with data analysts committed to finding new opportunities to increase efficiency, and therefore, boost profit. This turn-key approach is designed to minimize risk and deliver peace of mind. It’s like taking a big step with a built-in insurance policy. That’s one of many advantages to working with Primus.
