“There are many who want to work with the robot now because they don’t have to lift the rolls which weigh 60 lbs, and that helps a lot.”
Packaging took up roughly half of EAM-Mosca's operator time — manually picking and packing out 300 coils, 50+ lbs each, in a 12-hour shift.
Thor now handles that palletization end-to-end: picking coils off the conveyor and standing by while operators swap pallets.
The result: the work is safer, and operators are freed up to focus on quality, not repetitive lifting.
