In the heart of Quebec lies Groupe TAQ, a social enterprise committed to creating an inclusive work environment for people with disabilities. To respond to a recent project, they investigated using collaborative robots in their manufacturing space and decided to adopt a TOMA™ palletizer.
The power of human-robot collaboration
For a recent food industry project, Groupe TAQ needed to palletize 2,000 to 3,000 boxes daily, requiring two to three workers on a single production line. To improve this workflow, the TOMA™ palletizer, with its user-friendly design and intuitive interface, emerged as the perfect fit. Its standout feature was its ability to handle repetitive tasks safely alongside human workers, reducing the risk of injury from repetitive motion. By automating this palletizing task, TOMA™ has not only increased safety but increased overall throughput.
“A nice thing about TOMA™ is that it’s hyper flexible. You can just take a trucklift, move it to another place, and move the conveyor with it. It all works together, so it’s the same position for everything.”
— Pascal Gagne, Director of Operations
Embracing automated workplaces
Groupe TAQ’s experience with TOMA™ is a testament to the tremendous potential of human robot collaboration in manufacturing.
