III.
Channels for Finding Manufacturers
Brand Official Websites: FANUC (Shanghai/Beijing, Source: FANUC) / KUKA (Source: KUKA); Authorized Integrators: Complete line solutions (conveying + palletizing + stretch wrapping); Platforms: Alibaba / Made-in-China.com (Palletizers: $15,000–$18,000, Source: Alibaba); Trade Shows: MODEX / CIIF (China International Industry Fair); Industry Peers: Case studies from the same sector — Channels: Find authorized dealers via official websites, compare prices on platforms (look for integrators for complete lines).
IV.
Selection Parameters
Payload: 50–185 kg (Source: Alibaba); Cycle Time: Bags/hour; Gripping Method: Gripper / Vacuum cup / Clamp; Height: Palletizing height; Collaboration: CRX-30iA + AMR (Human-robot collaboration, Source: FANUC) — Selection: Payload + Cycle Time + Gripping Method (calculate production capacity first).
V. Line Composition
Conveying: Inbound material conveyor line; Palletizing: Robot unit + gripper; Pallets: Pallet magazine/supply system; Wrapping: Stretch film packaging (Source: Boshi); AGV: Finished product transfer (Source: FANUC)—Complete line: Conveying + Palletizing + Wrapping (end-of-line turnkey solution).
VI.
Supplier Evaluation
1. Industry track record (handling similar materials); 2. Integrated system capabilities (packaging and palletizing integration); 3. Service network (24-hour support; Source: Boshi); 4. Customization (grippers/pallet patterns);
5. Software (MES integration)—Evaluation criteria: Track record + System integration + Service (palletizing is a systems engineering task).
VII. Procurement Recommendations
1. Heavy-duty applications: Choose FANUC or KUKA; 2. Chemicals/Grain: Choose Boshi (integrated systems); 3. Small-to-medium batches: Choose collaborative palletizing (e.g., CRX); 4. Calculate cycle time first;
5. Tender for the complete line (conveying + palletizing + wrapping/bundling)—Palletizing robots: FANUC/KUKA (international) or Boshi (domestic integrated systems) (select based on payload and cycle time; tender for the complete line).
