How a leading winery boosted efficiency with cobot palletizing

For wineries and beverage producers, palletizing is often one of the most repetitive and physically demanding steps in production. Manually handling and stacking cartons for hours at a time not only slows down throughput but can also lead to worker fatigue and injuries.

One European wine producer faced exactly this challenge. With over five million bottles processed annually and more than 2,500 wine varieties passing through their bottling line, palletizing had become a major bottleneck. Employees were manually handling nearly 40 tons of packaging material every day, leaving them exhausted after each shift and creating inefficiencies across the end of the line.
