Your first robot in the packing house

Nobody is born knowing how to buy a robot. This is how it moves forward in your packing house, from the moment you write to us until the cell runs with your fruit.

Six steps, from the first call to start-up

  1. You tell us about your line

    What you pack, how it arrives, how many metric tons per hour, shifts and season. A video of the area helps more than a floor plan.

  2. We tell you whether it makes sense

    With your days and your shifts we run the numbers. If they do not work out, we tell you and you save the visit.

  3. Visit and measurement

    We measure the space, the height of your belt or hopper, the crate and the pallet. For a case packer, also your pack pattern and your formats.

  4. The proposal

    What it includes and the lead time, which gets confirmed here. Ask as well about support in your region, spare parts and what happens if the cell stops.

  5. Manufacturing and installation

    It is built in San Luis Potosí and installed in the low part of your season, without stopping the whole line.

  6. Start-up with your people

    Operators and maintenance get trained. Results are measured against the number you decided with.

Questions from first-time robot buyers

How do I know it is time for my first robot?
Three signs: you run many days a year, you have a heavy or repetitive post that is hard to fill at peak, and fruit arrives in crates stacked in order on pallets. If you run few days at one shift, run the numbers first: with few hours a year, payback stretches out.
Do I need an engineer on site to run it?
It runs without an engineer: the cell is operated from a screen and your people get trained. It does help to have someone in maintenance with a good electrical and mechanical base for the daily check.
What do I tell my crew?
As early as possible and clearly: which post changes, where people move to and when. Read our article on automating without layoffs, and if there is a workforce reduction, talk to a labor lawyer first.

Start by telling us about your line

That is enough to know whether the second step is worth taking.
