Description

Robotics in Packaging - Thematic Intelligence

Summary

Robotics can automate areas of a packaging business that would otherwise be un-automatable. This report identifies which types of robots packaging companies should be investing in and how robots can help resolve the major challenges facing the packaging industry. It also identifies the top adopters and vendors of robotics in the packaging sector.

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. Innovations in robotics enable more areas of the packaging industry to be automated. For example, the assembly of packaging products such as boxes, cartons, and cans typically can be (and historically has been) automated using non-autonomous machines that execute a set of pre-determined motions and tasks. Robots can automate these and more complicated tasks, such as equipment maintenance and warehousing, because they can sense the environment in which they operate and react.

Scope
  • Caged industrial robots, industrial co-bots, inspection, cleaning, and maintenance robots, and logistics robots are the types of robot with the most relevance to the packaging sector.
  • Robots can be expensive investments for packaging companies. To maximize efficiencies, robots need to be integrated throughout packaging lines, and multiple cells must be able to communicate with each other for optimized coordination.
  • The robotics industry was worth $45.3 billion in 2020. By 2030, it will have grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29% to $568.1 billion, according to GlobalData forecasts.
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand the robotics theme in the packaging marketplace
  • Understand multiple trends and company responses in order to tap into what is really impacting the industry.
  • Access valuable strategic take-outs to help direct future decision-making and inform new product development.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
