Short on labor. Short on floor space. Short on vertical space. These issues were being faced by Magic Valley Potatoes in Paul, Idaho as the company hoped to integrate a robotic palletizing system into its facility to handle 52.5-lb. boxes of potatoes with floating, unsecured lids. This job was beyond a comfortable lift for most workers on eight-hour shifts and an impossibility for a vacuum robotic gripper to lift the entire box from the unattached lid. With the space situation, traditional palletizing robots requiring safety fencing were out of the question, but a cobot might just fill the bill.
