Cosmetic Packaging Gets a Makeover from Robots

Cederroth International AB, which manufactures products for the personal care and other sectors, recently commissioned Skinetta Pac-Systeme GmbH & Co. KG to provide a fully automated end-of-line packaging system for its cosmetics bottles. Peripheral devices already used at Cederroth’s factory had to be integrated into a line capable of packaging 14 different formats, 12 with trays and two without trays. Skinetta developed a system using robots from ABB Robotics; it was built, integrated and tested at Skinetta’s base in Germany before the line was commissioned at Cederroth.
