Calling all corrugated and folding carton manufacturers! Rigorous Technology, a Williston, VT robotics and technology company, is holding a free webinar along with Koenig & Bauer on Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. ET to provide valuable information about advanced automation and robotics in a box manufacturing facility, answer your questions, and discuss how best to leverage Rigorous\u2019 RIG robotic technology solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This web event is moderated by Diane Abruzzini<\/strong>, COO and co-founder of Rigorous Technology; and joined by Colin Riggs<\/strong>, CEO and co-founder of Rigorous Technology, Chelsea Allen, VP of product at Rigorous Technology and Tom Fitzgerald<\/strong>, Koenig & Bauer\u2019s director of post press and corrugated products. The webinar, \u201cRight Fit Automation in Box Plants\u201d will take a deep dive into automation opportunities in box plant finishing departments. What are the correct robots for your facility, how do you decide between collaborative or industrial robots, a turnkey or custom solution\u2022 The webinar will address those concerns, showcase Rigorous\u2019 newest product for box makers, and see a demo of the RIG, a collaborative application for finishing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the fireside chat, Abruzzini, Riggs, and Fitzgerald will discuss how robotics is playing a key role in overcoming the labor challenges in the printing industry. Rigorous manufactures robots as easy to use as web applications through intuitive user interfaces, alarm readouts, and automated fault mitigation. Robotic automation can significantly increase throughput on high-speed machines. They will also provide valuable insights on how box manufacturers are turning automation and robotics into a revenue-driving solution by combining Rigorous\u2019 RIG palletizer and Koenig & Bauer\u2019s popular line of folder gluers to empower a post press operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trio will also highlight two high profile printers using Koenig & Bauer and Rigorous equipment to their advantage. Rigorous initially worked with New Jersey\u2019s Accurate Box Company as a design partner to help develop tooling and software specifically for products packed in half-slotted cartons (HSC), expanding the range of products that the RIG can process in finishing departments. Chelsea Allen will demonstrate the new HSC RIG and share a special offer solely for event attendees: any RIG purchased in 2026 will include one year of free remote support, a $9,000 value.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Koenig & Bauer introduced Rigorous to Southern Champion Tray. SCT\u2019s engineering team leveraged Rigorous\u2019 RIG Palletizing software to cost effectively deploy palletizing at scale, tailored to their specific processes while giving them control over management and deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRigorous and Koenig & Bauer will be accelerating manufacturing and deployments of the RIG products in 2026,\u201d says Abruzzini. \u201cThe RIG Palletizing solution is designed specifically for corrugated and folding carton applications. Koenig & Bauer helped us identify this need through their deep industry experience, and the fit has proven to be ideal. Our software platform is providing manufacturers with in-house engineering teams the most cost-effective way to deploy smart palletizers and other robots at scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Online event takes place Dec. 15 and offers expert insight on using palletizer robots to automate and streamline operations \u2022 Get a sneak peek at the newest product for box makers from Rigorous\u2022 Learn how your peers consider the value of their investments using modeling ROI\u2022 Uncover automation opportunities in box plant finishing departments\u2022 Webinar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20483,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[84,1235],"class_list":{"0":"post-20482","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-corrugated-folding-carton","8":"tag-koenig-bauer","9":"tag-rigorous-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20482"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20484,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20482\/revisions\/20484"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
