Takaki Bakery's Tsukuba plant automates shipping labels on bread crates with robots
About 23,000 items a day across 56 SKUs ship in bread crates, each needing a shipping label.
A MOTOMAN-HC10 cobot senses four crate types to supply, discharge, and stack them; a MOTOMAN-MPP3S delta robot applies 3,000 labels an hour. Part of a METI demonstration program (FY2017).
Staff 5 → 2, productivity 2.5×, payback 1.8 years.
The deployed cobot is the original MOTOMAN-HC10 (labels by a MOTOMAN-MPP3S); the listing is the current MOTOMAN-HC10DTP.
