ABB recently opened a new test and demo plant in Västerås, Sweden, for the packaging industry. The facility demonstrates ABB’s automation solutions for picking, packing and palletizing, as well as various robots, control systems and other automation products. The center offers the possibility to customize solutions to various companies' requirements.
- This centre means that we can offer our customers further support, and we are very pleased with that. Opportunities for realistic tests with our leading application software before installation provide risk minimization, standardization, increased ease of use and ease of installation. The fact that the processes can also be simulated before installation is also a factor that considerably facilitates the assembly, says Henrik Knobel, manager of the test and demo centre, in a press release.
- In the packaging industry there is a very wide range of different products that require understanding of many collaborative technologies such as gripper technology, camera recognition and flow technology, he adds.
