The partnership will expand the range of robotic capabilities that we can offer our customers and will ensure that we provide the best technical solution to our client's requirements.
Robotic applications for food processing, packaging and palletising applications are still in their infancy, so there is lots of scope for cost savings and efficiency gains." Alan Spreckley, ABB Robotics UK Segment manager for Packaging Industries commented: "The ABB / IAL partnership will enable both companies to present an offer to consumer related industries which will be cost effective and based on industry specific technical expertise.
This will clearly benefit end users.
