A robot on its own does not pick, pack or palletize anything. Odecopack integrates the robot with the tooling, vision, safety and controls that turn it into a working cell — scoped to your product, your rate and your line. We are a FANUC Authorized System Integrator.
Below: the robot classes we integrate, what "integration" actually includes, and the packaging applications each one fits.
Custom robotic integration is the engineering of a complete work cell around a robot, not the purchase of the robot itself. The robot arm is a general-purpose motion platform — it cannot pick a specific product, tell one orientation from another, or talk to the conveyor beside it until someone engineers those things around it.
That engineering is what determines whether a cell works: the end-of-arm tooling that actually touches your product, the vision or guidance that tells the robot where the product is, the safety system sized to how the cell is guarded, and the controls integration that lets it talk to the equipment already on your line.
Odecopack integrates robots as a FANUC Authorized System Integrator, with mechanical, electrical and robotics engineers in house — the same team that designs the tooling programs the robot and builds the panel, so nothing gets lost between disciplines.
The right class is picked against payload, reach, speed and floor space — not defaulted to whichever robot we have on hand.
Best for
Palletizing, depalletizing, case loading, heavier or irregular payloads
Four to six axes of motion, the widest reach and payload range of any robot class we integrate. The default choice when the product varies in size or orientation, or when the cell has to reach around obstructions instead of straight down.
Best for
High-speed pick and place, kitting, carton erecting on a fixed plane
Fast, precise and rigid on a horizontal plane, with less reach than an articulated arm. Right when the motion is repetitive and mostly horizontal — picking from a fixed infeed and placing into a fixed pattern, over and over, quickly.
Best for
Very high-speed light picking, small or delicate products
The fastest cycle times we integrate, at the cost of a small payload and a limited working envelope. Earns its place on lines picking dozens of small items per minute, where an articulated arm would be the bottleneck.
Best for
Machine tending, low-volume cells, shared space with operators
Lower speed and payload than an industrial arm, traded for reduced guarding and the ability to share space with people. The right answer when floor space, changeover flexibility or operator interaction matters more than raw rate.
The gripper is usually what decides whether the cell actually works on your product. We design and build EOAT in house — vacuum, mechanical, magnetic or combined — instead of treating it as an accessory to the robot.
Cameras for locating, orienting or inspecting product before the robot commits to a pick, integrated with the robot's own coordinate system rather than bolted on as an afterthought.
Guarding, light curtains and safety-rated controls sized to a risk assessment for the specific cell — different for a fenced articulated arm than for a cobot sharing space with an operator.
The robot controller talking to your PLC, your upstream conveyor and your downstream equipment, on the protocol your plant already runs. A robot that cannot talk to the rest of the line is not an integrated cell.
