𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱, 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺!

We had a great time celebrating Employee Appreciation Day at Motion Controls Robotics, Inc.! Our employees enjoyed lunch from Bone Boy's BBQ & Catering, LLC, some friendly competition on the co****le boards, and a chance to relax and spend time together.

It was a special day to recognize the people whose hard work and dedication make everything we do possible.

And what made it even better? Having the entire MCRI Group together for the celebration!

Thank you to our incredible team for all you do!

𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗢 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿!

With more than 2,700 exhibitors, PACK EXPO is one of the biggest opportunities to see where packaging and manufacturing automation are headed.

Our Motion Controls Robotics, Inc. team will be in Chicago, October 18–21, exploring new technologies, catching up with industry partners, and connecting with manufacturers.

Planning to attend? What technologies or automation challenges are on your radar? Our team will be there, and we'd be glad to connect or discuss new ideas. ([email protected]).

As you know, your automation system is already generating production data. Cases completed. Products run. Pallets finished. Changeovers. Operator activity. Alarms and events.

ImpactIQ could be collecting that information and, through an MCP server, make approved data available to enterprise AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot.

So instead of digging through multiple screens, someone could ask:
“𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝘼 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩?”

And get a clear summary of what happened during the shift.
This is the direction we’re going with ImpactIQ integrated into our BA Palletizer: making automation data easier to access, understand, and use.

MCRI was glad to be part of the THINK Manufacturing event again, helping students see how robotics, automation, engineering, and skilled trades all come together in today’s manufacturing careers.

Events like this are a great opportunity to show students the technology behind manufacturing and the career paths available right here in Sandusky County.

As always, MCRI had a great time at the event! Thanks to Sandusky County Economic Development Corporation

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁.
The end of the production line can look deceptively simple, but:

Cases can arrive at different rates.
Products change.
Pallet patterns change.
Labels need to face the right direction.
And somehow everything still needs to keep on schedule.

That is what makes end-of-line automation interesting.

It is about figuring out how all those pieces work together so the finished product can leave the line as smoothly as it came to it.

What tends to cause the biggest headache at the end of your line?

7,000 humanoid robots versus 542,000 industrial robots.

That comparison puts the current robotics market into perspective.

We saw a similar conversation when cobots first gained attention. They did not replace traditional robots. Instead, cobots found the applications where their flexibility, smaller footprint, and easier deployment made them the better fit.

Humanoids may evolve the same way.

Robotic palletizing, case handling, machine tending, material movement, and other structured processes can already be automated with proven industrial robots and cobots.

The best place to start is not with a particular type of robot. Start with the process:

• What needs to move?
• How consistently does it arrive?
• What rate must the system maintain?
• What happens when something goes wrong?
• Who will support the system after startup?

The most advanced robot is not always the best investment.

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸. 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘁. 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗲. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸.
This system handles the full board finishing process with automation

Robotic pick -> Polyurea coating -> Curing -> Final stacking

What matters here is repeatability. Each board follows the same controlled process, helping maintain consistent coating and reliable handling from start to finish.

Watch the full process in action.

𝗔 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿.

Across warehouse and fulfillment automation, companies are increasing the speed at which products are stored, retrieved and moved. That increased speed can create another challenge downstream: getting the right cases to the right pallet in the right order.

Mixed-SKU palletizing is not only about whether a robot can pick different cases.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲:

1. Which products belong on each pallet
2. When each case is released
3. Case size, weight and orientation
4. Layer and stacking requirements
5. Label placement
6. Missing, damaged or incorrect cases
7. Changes in the product sequence

Our mixed-SKU palletizing approach uses recipe-driven controls to manage that flow before the robot makes its first pick.

The robot builds the pallet. The sequence makes it work.

Designed to control the sequence so your team doesn’t have to.
