Sacchi - SmartPick - SmartPack - SmartTipping

SmartPack represents the revolution in bagging, sewing/welding and palletizing of industrial bags. Based on the most advanced robotic system in the world, it guarantees efficiency and productivity.

SmartPack is a packaging machine for bags of powders and granules completely robotic which not only bags (dosing the product and filling the bag) but also palletises the bag, all this by a single robot which integrates both functions.

1. Its compact layout allows to install it in narrow places or on mobile repositionable platforms
2. The versatility of the anthropomorphic robot allows to reconfigure the layout as required, by repositioning the destination pallets, the picking trays of the empty bag and the dosing heads.
3. The flexibility of the six-axis system allows to change bag size/material in no time and handle more bagging heads by the same robot, even allowing to bag more products at the same time with the same plant.
4. Thanks to the advanced graphic interface, the system can be easily managed by unskilled operators. Once a product has been configured according to type of packaging, packaged weight  and type of palletization, SmarPack stores the data in a recipe that can later be recalled also by a bar code.
5. Dosing process can be in different configurations , gross weight, net weight  or by screw conveyor, gravity, turbine or vibration feeder. In all cases it's designed paying attention to cleaning needs.

SmartPack is offered for two bag types and in different basic configurations that can be customised as required.

Robotic solution for micro-ingredients recipes preparation. The most advanced system in the world! 

SmartPick is the most advanced robotic solution that picks bags from one or more pallets, opens and empties them, SmartPick is covered by five exclusive patents.

SmartPick is a robotic system that picks bags from one or more pallets, opens and empties them, and dose the powder or granules contents automatically following a recipe!

SmartPick is a patented robotic bag-opener, offered worldwide by F.lli Sacchi only.

The bag is handled and cut by an anthropomorphic robot, this guarantees the reliability, traceability and high production levels.

SmartPick is a robotic cell where bags are de-palletized and opened with a cutting system and it is composed of : 

1. One or more fix pallet stations or roller conveyors to make pallet enter the robot area
2. One multiaxial anthropomorphic robot that, thanks to a patented gripping head equipped with sensors system and to SmartPick-AT software, can recognize, depalletize and pick one bag at a time
3. One or more bag cutting and emptying station (bag cutting hopper)
4. One or more compacting units for empty bags
5. Dedicated SmartPick-AT software with a simple and intuitive interface

SmartPick:

1. depalletizes and cuts bags in automatic mode from one or more pallet positioned in one or more cutting stations.
2. manages, stores, sets recipes.
3. manages the traceability of raw material.
4. manages pallet call from the storehouse.
5. it's now protected by five patents which include bag-cutter system, bag gripping, bag cleaning, bag opening/cutting, bag emptying, and software.
6. It's currently the only bag-opening / bag-emptying system in the world certified by several multinational corporations for food, baby food, and pharma field.
7. It has been approved by ASL as the solution to problems coming from bag handling and exposure to powders.
8. hundreds of customers, looking for bags lifter, have chosen SmartPick. It replaces standard bags lifter and also automatizes bag cutting.
9. it's easy to clean (production change involves only suction of a hopper) and by installing more hoppers, cleaning is no more necessary!
10. it's modular and can be configured to handle from 1 to 20 pallet at the entry side and as many emptying stations.

The robotic depalletization system has been created to handle bags and it has been also adjusted for the handling of boxes and palletized drums, in order to put the contents into the process quickly and safely 

The most innovative and compact robotic bagging and palletizing system in the world for granules and powders.

SmartPicker is a single or multi-robot robotic solution developed for the logistic area of those customers who have to handle picking or repalletization of products in bags.

Pallets are brought in sequence to the depalletizer robot area in manual or automatic way according to picking list, SmartPicker, following picking order, not only depalletizes all required bags, but also repalletizes them on a pallet exiting from the system.

In its most simple version, SmartPickER follows the bags repalletization using palletization schemes different from the original one or  from pallet change (from wood to plastic/stainless steel)

SmartPicker can be equipped with several options:

1. Second palletizer robot to double system cycle
2. Roller conveyors to move entry and exiting pallets
3. Empty pallets stackers and unstackers
4. Slip sheet placing/removing devices
5. Pallet wrapping units
6. Markers and print/apply
7. Interface with MES software

SmartPicker has been designed to be connected with picking software systems and interact with picking area of traditional or automatic storehouse.

SmartPicker is the natural evolution of SmartPick which is on the market for over ten years and it's covered by 5 world patents.

SmartTipping is a robotic solution for micro ingredients recipes preparation.

Unlimited flexibility and modularity thanks to multi-patented robotic Smart technology designed by Sacchi.

SmartTipping system coordinates dosing of "n" small containers with feeding capabilities into the robot working area, in order to execute the dosing sequence, set in the recipe.

The mini-batch is collected into a bucket or in a bag, codified by bar code printing or by RFID and finally conveyed to the process machines or directly poured into the mixer. 

Containers-feeders can be of different types and are selected according to category of products to be dosed.

1. Screw feeder
2. Twin-screw feeder
3. Belt feeder
4. Gravity feeder

Containers-feeders can be fixed or removable when necessary (they can be placed in the warehouse and taken back to the production line when necessary)

SmartBatch software manages all the process. 

The system can be directly interfaced to the factory MES software using both standard and customized protocols.

Robotic solution to process picking orders of products in bags.
