Case study Ajinomoto

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.

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.

Cassioli has installed 3 palletizing cells
where each robot can work
simultaneously on three lines by
palletizing on its own pallet.

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.
