said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe 3.5 million tons of plastic waste generated in India per annum creates various hazards, which is why India has initiated a nationwide ban on single-use plastic,\u201d said Subrata Karmakar, country president for robotics and discrete automation business at ABB India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cABB\u2019s innovative robotic solutions, combined with Parason’s revolutionary turn-key manufacturing process using agro-waste, will be a key contributor to addressing climate change by adopting a 100 per cent compostable alternative to plastics,” Karmakar added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared to manual pick-and-place applications, ABB robots will help increase OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) performance by 30 per cent while eliminating ergonomic risks for the workforce, and improving overall health and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shift to ABB\u2019s robotic solutions has also enabled the business to divert the workforce to more meaningful, interesting and rewarding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvery year India generates about 500 million tonnes of farm waste which can now be used to create sustainable packaging solutions. ABB\u2019s automated solutions have helped us create a viable, costeffective value chain and maintain a low carbon environment,\u201d said Madhure Desarda, Director of Operations, Parason Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis year, Parason intends to deploy 250 forming machine cells, which have the capacity to replace 150 tonnes of single-use plastic per day,” Desarda added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
