Join us for the Cutting Edge Manufacturing, LLC Open House on Wednesday, July 29, from 9:00 to 11:00 AM in Fremont, Ohio.

RSVP here: https://cuttingedgemanuf.com/cem-events/

Cutting Edge Manufacturing is a division of the MCRI Group and works closely with Motion Controls Robotics, Inc. to support industrial customers beyond the robot system.

Our customers often need fabricated parts, frames, tooling, repairs, assemblies, and manufacturing support to help keep projects & manufacturing moving.

At the open house, you’ll have the chance to tour the new building, meet the CEM team, and see the machining, fabrication, build-to-print, and assembly capabilities that support both CEM customers and MCRI integration projects.

Current customers are encouraged to stop in and see how our team can help with manufacturing support, development projects, service needs, and emergency tooling repairs.

Ribbon Cutting: 9:15 AM
Location: 1597 Pontiac Ave, Fremont, OH 43420

In some robotic palletizing systems, cases or products are directed to a layer build station first. Conveyors, stops, guides, and controls help move product into the right position before the robot completes the next step.

This approach can help with:

• Better pattern control
• More efficient robot movement
• Consistent spacing and orientation
• Higher throughput for the right application
• More flexibility when handling different SKUs or product types

The robot is still important, but the layer-building process starts before the pick.

What matters here?

Product flow, conveyor movement, and controls all work together to build the right pallet pattern.

We’re hiring an Automation Sales Engineer / Senior Account Manager at Motion Controls Robotics.

This role is a good fit for someone who understands automation sales, enjoys building customer relationships, and can help manufacturers identify where robotics and automation can make a real impact.

The position focuses on both existing customer growth and new business development, with opportunities tied to robotics, automation, AGVs/AMRs, and industrial software.

We’re looking for someone who can:
• Build strong customer relationships
• Follow up on qualified leads and new opportunities
• Work with engineering teams to develop automation solutions
• Understand customer needs and help move projects forward
• Communicate clearly with both technical and business teams

For someone who likes manufacturing, problem-solving, and consultative selling, this is a strong opportunity to work in a growing automation market.

Interested or know someone who may be a good fit? Apply now or reach out to learn more.

About 80% of the customers that come to us with palletizing needs have something more complicated than a simple single or row pick application.

Many are building pallets based on orders with multiple SKUs. Others need centralized palletizing, where a variety of SKUs are palletized in the same area.

That changes the system design.

The conversation becomes less about “can a robot stack this?” and more about:
•How many recipes are needed?
•How is product sequenced?
•Where is the layer built?
•Is the robot picking a row, a partial layer, or full layer?
•How does the system keep the pallet pattern accurate?

In robotic palletizing, the pallet pattern often starts before the pallet.

That is why product flow, pick area design, tooling, and controls matter just as much as the robot.

We spotted these stickers during a recent customer visit, and they gave us a good laugh.

It is always fun to see how customers add a little personality to their robot systems once they become part of daily production.

I think there might be some heated rivalry happening in this cell.

In all seriousness, we love seeing customers make their systems feel like part of their team. A little personality on the floor never hurts.

But when production is down, that same part can be the most important item in the plant.

For robotic systems, spare parts planning is one of the simplest ways to protect uptime. Waiting until something fails can mean longer delays, more scrambling, and more pressure on your maintenance team.

As a FANUC Authorized Service Integrator, MCRI knows the right spare parts list based on your robot, your system, your production demands, and the risk of downtime.

It is about being ready for the parts that matter most.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸’𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱: 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴.

The biggest gains we see aren’t from going faster but removing the reasons the line stops or slows down.

The data backs it up:

• Only ~67% uptime on average in process industries (PSbyM / Milliken & Company study)
• Losses driven more by minor stops and changeovers than major failures
• Downtime costs around $50K - $125 per hour on average (Manufacturing Digital)

It’s not just breakdowns causing this.

This is where we focus by designing systems that keep production moving through those times:
• Continuous palletizing instead of stop/start
• Handling variation without stopping the line
• Flow across upstream, process, and end-of-line—not just one cell

What matters here:
Throughput isn’t about speed.
It’s about how rarely your system has to stop.

04/30/2026

Most downtime isn’t caused by something major.
It’s the small issues that sit too long without support.

That’s where a service plan makes the difference.

Whether it’s a few hours of support or full coverage,
having a quick and easy path to a resolution matters most.

In honor of 🐾Petfood Forum Events this week, we are highlighting one of the most common applications in the industry.

From small to large bags, these systems are built to keep pallets consistent and lines moving.

What matters here: managing variability without sacrificing throughput.
