Proco Machinery launches new robot packer to address labour shortages

Proco Machinery has announced the launch of a new collaborative robot packer to address the growing labour shortages in the packaging industry.  

"We understand that labour shortages are becoming more common in the packaging industry, and that manufacturers need solutions that can help them reduce their labour costs and increase efficiency," said John McCormick, president of Proco Machinery. "Our new collaborative robot packer is designed to be flexible, versatile, and easy to use, helping our customers stay competitive in their markets."  

Over the years, Proco has developed a range of labour-saving automated machinery and equipment throughout the US and Canada. But in recent years, the packaging industry has faced a growing labour shortage, and manufacturers are looking for ways to improve productivity while reducing their reliance on manual labour. 

The new Proco Collaborative Robot Packer is designed to work alongside human operators to increase efficiency and performance. The new robot packer can perform a range of tasks, from testing containers to packing them into cases. The system is modular and on castors, making it easy to use and flexible in operation.
