First Impressions
Working for a robot manufacturer (previously), I had the opportunity to work with several CPG Integrators. Joining Quest early this year, I noticed the “Quest Difference” right away. In my experience there had always been certain unwritten rules regarding robotic automation in the packaging world. Since starting at Quest, I have learned that these guidelines are not a part of Quest’s approach to projects. Here are the Top 5 perceptions that I no longer obey.
QBox Pallet Building Software
Problem
Quest recognized a new need that was arising among our customer base in the food and beverage industry: the ability to be to change pack patterns for existing pallets or add new patterns due to a new case or product. Traditionally, the only way for customers to do this, was to contact a service technician who would program the new pattern into the palletizer. Between the cost and the delay to implement the new pattern or case into production, this need was at the forefront for our customers.

Before Christmas, some of the Quest Industrial team had the opportunity to help install a robotic cell at the New Glarus High School in Wisconsin, just a short 20 minute drive from Quest Industrial Headquarters. The New Glarus School District was one of several applicants who inquired about a robot donation from Quest Industrial. Because of the enthusiasm, drive, and passion Dr. Thayer, Superintendent of the New Glarus School District, and Mr. Mihm, the Technology Education Teacher, expressed for having this cutting edge technology, their school was chosen. They were willing to make the project happen by pulling in the resources needed to help make the donation successful. While installing the donated robotic cell, many of the teachers, including Mr. Mihm and Dr. Thayer, were so appreciative and filled with excitement because of what the robotic cell means for the current and future students of the school. Dr. Thayer, Mr. Mihm, and the New Glarus School District have a vision for where the jobs will be for the future workforce and they want to see these young adults succeed.
