CUSTOMER NEEDS
In order to optimize
the production of SAZÓN® seasonings,
top brand in sales of the category,
Ajinomoto turned to Cassioli for the
realization of an automatic system
dedicated to the palletization of the
boxes of products coming from the
different 9 production lines with the
need to palletize each of these 9 lines
separately in their respective pallets.
One of the main requests of the
customer was to look for a solution that
could take up little space and that above
all could work side by side with
employees, reducing the risks and the
possibility of accidents.
The plant involved in the new
automated plant was that of Limeira,
one of the company's four industrial
plants, located in the state of Sao Paulo
in Brazil.
THE COMPANY
Ajinomoto is a Japanese
multinational manufacturer of foood
and reference in amino acids founded
in 1909 in Tokyo that produces
:condiments, cooking oils, foodstuffs
and pharmaceuticals. Ajinomoto's
literal translation is "Essence of
Taste," used as a brand name for the
company's monosodium glutamate.
As of 2019, Ajinomoto operates in 35
countries and employs an estimate
34,504 people.
Ajinomoto yearly revenue in 2019 is
around US$10.1 billion.

THE CASSIOLI SOLUTION
The reduced spaces and the need for a
solution that could coexist with the
human operator led Cassioli to develop
a system based on collaborative robots
capable of automating and speeding up
the most repetitive processes.
Cassioli has installed 3 palletizing cells
where each robot can work
simultaneously on three lines by
palletizing on its own pallet.
Some technical specifications:
Flow 9 boxes per minute (3 boxes /
min per line)
Box weight 2 - 3,5 kg
Dimensions 172x316x196 mm or
184x140x140 mm
In order to work on three lines, the
robot has been equipped with a 7th axis
that allows it to move to the base and a
further 8th vertical axis.
Through this modality it has been
possible to increase the work area of the
robot while maintaining the safety
requirements necessary for man-
machine coexistence.
The system has been studied from all
points of view (mechanical and
software) putting into practice the
theories of industry 4.0 and the
interaction between man and machine
(Human - Machine Interaction, HMI).
Through rigorous functional analysis of
operational and setup phases, ensuring
all safety requirements and maintaining
all functions, it was possible to operate
without compromising the performance
of the solution.

Area scanners detect the operator's
entry into the robot's work area and
limit its dynamic performance in order
to continue to operate safely without
physical barriers.
