Rotzinger develops innovative adaptive packaging machine enabled by CoreTigo ’ s IO-Link Wireless solution
Rotzinger , a leading provider of packaging & cosmetics machinery solutions , and CoreTigo , a provider of Industrial Wireless Automation solutions , are excited to announce their partnership and collaboration .
CoreTigo ’ s IO-Link Wireless products and technology have been integrated into Rotzinger ’ s advanced packaging machinery , resulting in new and advanced capabilities that are driving maximum flexibility , throughput and sustainability .
Rotzinger , a Swiss group of companies , with a mission to continuously optimize product flow for its customers , offers first-class solutions , services and software for a variety of industries such as pharmaceuticals & cosmetics and food & beverage . Rotzinger was asked by a leading food manufacturer to develop an adaptive secondary food packaging machine that meets very high demands of throughput along with the ability to support multiple package and product variations , all on a single machine . The machine is based on a multi-carrier smart conveyer system which requires doing actions on products while in constant high-speed motion . Cables were not a possible option for such a complex and high-speed task , nor were conventional 16 FDPP - www . fdpp . co . uk wireless solutions . By utilizing CoreTigo ’ s IO-Link Wireless based products which were designed specifically for wireless control and monitoring in factory automation , Rotzinger could now wirelessly control grippers on the movers without needing additional external robots , cables or other types of equipment .
This innovative machine design results in reduced changeover time , machine footprint reduction , maximum
capacity , and full flexibility to support multiple product and package types . These ultimately result in greater sustainability , as less energy , space and parts need to be used within a machine . The number of machines decreases as well , since this allows for one machine to handle various products and package designs . An example of this machine in action and the benefits gained from the collaboration of Rotzinger and CoreTigo can be found in this video : https : / youtu . be / HSshEGywV4A
