Testimonials

Stalled Robot Now Palletizes Better Than Ever

“I just got done doing a project with another OEM using an existing robot in-house. After about three months, the robot still did not work the way it did before. Complete Solution Robotics was recommended to my organization and me to come in and help resolve all issues.

“With the system not working well after the original project, we essentially were losing ground for three months straight. Mike saw there was an urgency, even though he had no ties to the original project, and immediately worked out a way to get out to us on the East Coast, and was here within a week. After giving him our objectives and project background, within three days, he had the robot palletizing better than it ever had before! The amount of time, dedication, and customer service was outstanding.

“He did great explaining what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. His pricing is extremely reasonable. He is great to work with, very empathetic, and brought an energy with him that operators loved. The operators were excited about working on the system again, and production has been solid ever since. He did more in those three days than the other OEM did in three months! I look forward to working with Complete Solution Robotics and Mike again on our future projects and would recommend him in a heartbeat!”

Michael DiDomenico – Ultra Dairy, a Byrne Dairy company

Rescued Complex Glass Polishing Project On-Time and On-Budget

“Mike was recommended to us by a robotics component supplier that I had spoken to. We hired him to integrate a glass polishing process of ours that another integrator had attempted and was unable to accomplish. So when Mike stepped in, we were already six months past our deadline. Our process is not a ‘typical’ robotic application in that it requires the robot to ‘feel’ the pressure between the tool and the part.

“Mike has a great relationship with FANUC since he worked for them and left on good terms and is totally familiar with FANUC’s products. He specified and ordered the robot and all the components to integrate it into our process. He designed and built the control circuitry and safety interface specifically for our application. Once everything was in our shop, he came in and wired it up and programmed and tested the process.

“From start to finish it only took two months to get us into production, which to me seemed like an amazingly short time. And he did so within the budget he had set from the beginning. In all the years we’ve been in business, I have never worked with a more hard-working, honest and knowledgeable person and it is my pleasure to recommend him to anyone interested in using his services. He says he loves what he does, and it shows.”

Jerry Fein – Vitraform

Custom Solution Improves Efficiency, Solves Labor Issues

“One of the things we liked about RMH was the one-stop shop. We tell a joke, most people buy a robot–we bought seven. We didn’t really know what we were getting into, but the partnership we have with RMH—we know these guys, we have a relationship with them, and we trust them. The system has been great, and we’ve already seen some benefits. We’ve been able to be a stronger force in the marketplace, been able to reduce our lead times, and our shipping has gone up as well. It’s just been a great resource for us.

“Here at Hytrol, we’ve been blessed in seeing our business grow over the last 3-4 years. One of the current issues we have, we live in a county where the unemployment rate is below 3%, so it’s a struggle to find employees. Part of the way we wanted to tackle that was through automation. Hytrol is all about good relationships—we’ve had such a long relationship with RMH. We trusted them and knew they could do what we wanted. The experience overall has been great.”

Todd McClung – Hytrol Conveyor Company

FAQs – Robotics

The primary reasons behind many automation projects include:

  • Labor Shortage/Expense/Inconsistencies: Across the country, we are seeing labor shortages or a heavier reliance on inconsistent temporary laborers. This is very costly. Labor costs are also rising. Minimum wage in many areas is now $15/hour or higher. The cost to operate a robot is about $2-3/hour.
  • Safety: Humans are still being asked to do a lot of dangerous, repetitive tasks. The constant bending and lifting create strain on the bodies doing the work. People inevitably get hurt on the job, which also creates unnecessary costs and disruption to production.
  • Quality: Human error is always present where humans work. Automation creates consistent pallets, products, and shipments without taking breaks.
  • Increased Production: Companies are always looking for increased production due to increased demand, better processes, new products, etc. Automation typically generates higher production and allows the labor force to focus on more value-added tasks/responsibilities.
There are a variety of ways that companies are looking to automate. These include, but are not limited to:

Nearly every sector can benefit from automation. Robots can add value anywhere products are being handled or shipped

No. There is a misperception that robots replace people, but the reality is that robots repurpose people. Employees get to use more of their brains instead of their bodies.

For frontline operators, this means they’ll likely take on new roles.

Instead of the repetitive, motion-driven tasks they perform throughout the day, they will take on more “supervisory” roles, looking after the automation cells. This will, in turn, open them up to focus more on process improvement rather than process tasks. Automation will bring your production to new levels, so employees will likely find themselves taking on more responsibility as the business grows.

No. While the cost depends on application complexity, robotic palletizers start around $200,000 to $250,000. This is extremely affordable and should lend itself to an ROI of 1-2 years.

Return on Investment is dependent on what is driving the automation solution. Inconsistent labor? Safety? There are very direct ways to evaluate ROI: labor reduction, increased production and throughput, and quality improvement.

Some indirect considerations should be taken into account as well, including waste reduction (in production, automated companies use less material), risk mitigation (injury prevention), and an improved work environment for employees.

ROI is pretty easy to attain and can be realized in as little as 6 months in certain cases. Automation is more affordable than ever, and its gains are significant.

There’s a lot of noise in the market, but at the foundation, you need a partner you can trust.

Look for an integrator with proven experience. Many companies specialize in one area—robotics, conveyors, or packaging—but the best outcomes come from a partner like RMH Systems with expertise across all of these disciplines.

Automation cells depend heavily on upstream equipment. If your integrator doesn’t understand that, you’re likely to run into issues—additional vendors get pulled in, and finger-pointing can follow.

It’s also important to consider the vendors behind the integrator. You may trust the integrator, but if they rely on low-quality suppliers, the final solution will fall short.

RMH partners with top-tier OEMs to ensure the highest quality outcomes. We also pride ourselves on being a true resource for our customers.

Our in-house team includes experts in robotics, material handling, scales, and packaging, giving you a single, trusted partner for your entire project. We don’t just deliver turnkey systems—we also provide training and ongoing support.

Successful automation projects are built on strong partnerships between the integrator and the end user. If your integrator simply says “yes” without asking questions, it can lead to problems down the road.

The right partner will challenge assumptions, explore alternatives, and bring creative thinking to the table. That kind of collaboration leads to better, more effective solutions.

Robotic opportunities are increasingly endless. Bottom line: anywhere a human is moving, storing, or lifting a product is an opportunity for robotics.

Palletizing and de-palletizing are bread and butter options. Material handling, machine load/unload, high-speed pick and place, sealant dispensing, and welding are all
options for robots.

Successful automation starts with a conversation to identify bottlenecks and other challenges on the floor. Employees need to understand that automation isn’t about replacing them. It’s about repurposing their roles to create value for everyone involved.

Support doesn’t stop after implementation. RMH Systems provides training on all robotic cells, along with hands-on sessions at our headquarters. While the systems are user-friendly, having one or two internal champions helps ensure long-term success.

This heavily depends on the project. Robot projects tend to have longer lead times, around 30-36 weeks. Conveyor projects can be anywhere from 12-20 weeks. VLMs are typically around 24 weeks.

Contact RMH to get started. We’ll begin with a conversation to understand your challenges and goals.
