CONCRETE PRODUCTS & CAST STONE130 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 5 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comA first palletizing robot (another KR1000-6-axis model) rearranges the products according to the pallet stacking. Another robot supplies the many different pallet formats.When the pallet is loaded, it is tied up and moved to the building's storage area. Depending on the range of products and the packaging, products are moved, divided, selected in a precise, repetitive and fast way to ensure the required productivity given by the press.Technological choices implemented with movement functions controlled by digitized axes and the use of robots, allow to achieve the palletizing objectives of manufacturer Consumers. This fully automatic palletizing solution, supervised by a single operator, was designed to keep up with the high speed of the press. This complete line does not require any human intervention.Summary: A large-scale projectQuadra's knowledge of its customers and its understanding of their expectations and products has enabled it to offer a customised production line, adapted to the diversity of the ranges manufactured by Consumers and requiring no human intervention.Commissioned at the end of 2024, this new production unit incorporates customised industrial solutions, combining automation, production flexibility and flow optimisation to support the site's increased capacity. At the same time, this stateof-the-art plant represents an important benchmark for the French manufacturer, demonstrating its expertise in building complete production lines.The result of Quadra's development initiatives in the US, the solution designed for Consumers meets all the requirements of the American market. According to the Michigan Concrete Association Awards, this installation is \and manufacturing, setting a new standard for efficiency and quality in the concrete industry\nFURTHER INFORMATIONConsumers Concrete Corp3506 Lovers LaneKalamazoo, MI 49001-2229, USAT +1 269 342 0136www.consumersconcrete.comQuadra40, route de Findrol74130 Contamine-sur-Arve, FranceT +33 450339221info@quadra-concrete.comwww.quadra-concrete.comKuka AktiengesellschaftZugspitzstra%u00dfe 14086165 Augsburg, GermanyT +49 821 79750www.kuka.comThe first robot feeds the three conveyor lines, either to the palletizing station or to the two splitting linesRobot 1 of the palletizing station
