Automating the Future: Beck Automation Custom Robotic Folder Solution

Manufacturing facilities continue to look for ways to streamline production, improve efficiency, and make the most of their workforce. Beck Automation’s custom robotic automated folder solution is designed to do exactly that, offering a smarter, safer, and more cost-effective way to operate your folder equipment.

Flexible Capabilities

The system can be integrated with folders up to 26 feet with a sheet loader or up to 21 feet without one, depending on your setup. Because every folder comes with its own capabilities and limitations, Beck Automation’s solution is tailored to your equipment. Trim can also be produced with or without protective film, giving you flexibility for a wide range of jobs.

Key Benefits for Your Facility

• Reallocate Labor: Free up operators to focus on bottlenecks in other areas, or fill positions you’ve struggled to hire for.

• Workplace Safety: By automating repetitive and higher-risk tasks, you reduce the chance of workplace injuries while creating a safer work environment.

• Reduced Downtime: Setup and prep can be done while the equipment is running, minimizing lost time and maximizing efficiency.

• Increased Uptime: The folder can keep running after hours, during breaks, or when your operators are working on other equipment or tasks.

• Low Maintenance: The system is designed with minimal maintenance requirements, helping keep operations running smoothly.

Why is it worth it?

On a double bend folder running one shift per day, this solution offers a projected two-year return on investment (ROI). That means your investment quickly pays for itself while continuing to deliver long-term savings and productivity gains.
