Celebrating manufacturing end-of-line systems for 50 years
In 1976, PASCO was founded by two engineers who built a safer way to approach heavy-material handling at the end-of-the line. Fifty years later, the tools look different, but the goal hasn’t: solve customer problems, follow through and build equipment that keeps modern production moving. We’ve grown with the industry because we’ve stayed close to the work and the people who rely on it every day.
Production runs on precision, not promises. Your end-of-line automation needs to work from day one and keep working. That's why we control every step in-house from raw steel to lifecycle support.
PROCESS ANY PACKAGING TYPE
Precision handling, automated
Our end-of-line systems handle every package type in your facility from bags to drums, pails to cases. Each robotic movement delivers 99.9% placement accuracy at your production speeds, validated with your actual products.
We manufacture your system’s critical components, not just assemble them. When you need parts and service, you work directly with the team that builds your equipment, not a chain of vendors.
"It’s one manufacturing company talking to another manufacturing company. I don't know if you get the gravity between that, but it feels like PASCO is one of us. We manufacture things, they manufacture things. We like that they understand us, and we understand them."
Dimitri Frangiadis, Capital Project Manager at Croda
What are the common applications of industrial automation?
Common applications of industrial automation include packaging, palletizing, material handling, quality control, and assembly processes, helping manufacturers improve efficiency, consistency, and safety in their production workflows.
What are the benefits of automated palletizing systems?
Automated palletizing systems offer increased efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in packaging processes, enabling businesses to streamline operations, reduce labor costs, and enhance product quality.
How does automated equipment enhance product quality?
Automated equipment enhances product quality by ensuring consistent manufacturing processes, reducing human error, and enabling real-time quality control monitoring to identify and rectify issues promptly.
What is the initial investment for automated equipment?
The initial investment for automated equipment can vary depending on the complexity of the system, the features required, and the scale of the operation. Automated equipment can require significant upfront costs, but the long-term benefits of increased efficiency and reduced labor costs can often justify the investment.
How does industrial automation improve worker safety?
Industrial automation reduces worker exposure to hazardous tasks, minimizing safety risks and improving overall workplace safety by automating dangerous processes and reducing the need for human intervention.
What types of industries use automated equipment most?
Industries that rely heavily on automated equipment include manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, and logistics, where automated systems improve efficiency, productivity, and consistency in repetitive tasks.
What is the primary goal of industrial automation in manufacturing?
The primary goal of industrial automation in manufacturing is to improve efficiency, productivity, and consistency in the production process.
What are the benefits of using automated equipment in manufacturing?
The benefits of using automated equipment in manufacturing include increased efficiency, improved product quality, reduced labor costs, and enhanced safety in harsh industrial environments.
Can automated equipment be integrated with existing systems?
Yes, automated equipment can typically be integrated with existing systems. PASCO's automation solutions are designed for seamless integration, allowing clients to enhance their existing operations with advanced packaging and processing capabilities.
What is the role of robotics in industrial automation?
Robotics plays a crucial role in industrial automation by enhancing precision, speed, and efficiency in manufacturing processes, enabling businesses to optimize production, reduce errors, and increase overall productivity.
What types of products are commonly palletized?
Common products palletized are items such as packaged goods, boxes, crates, drums, and other bulk materials that can be stacked efficiently for storage and transportation.
How does industrial automation reduce production costs?
Industrial automation reduces production costs by improving efficiency, reducing labor expenses, and increasing output consistency and quality, leading to lower overall operational costs.
Can industrial automation replace human workers completely?
Industrial automation can enhance productivity and efficiency, but completely replacing human workers may not be feasible or desirable in many industries due to the need for specialized skills, flexibility, and human judgment.
PASCO® designs and manufactures end-of-line automation systems that handle a wide range of packaging types, including bags, drums, cases and pails. Packaging automation replaces manual handling with consistent, repeatable performance at the end of the line.
Automating packaging improves throughput, reduces variability and keeps products moving through the line with greater consistency. PASCO systems are engineered to run reliably in real production environments where uptime matters.
Automated Palletizing
Automated palletizing systems from PASCO handle the final step of packaging by stacking finished products onto pallets at production speed. Automating palletizing improves efficiency, reduces manual labor and removes one of the most physically demanding tasks on the floor.
PASCO palletizing systems handle cases, boxes, bags, drums and other packaged products. Each system is engineered around the product, throughput and layout of the facility to deliver consistent palletizing performance.
The PASCO Approach
PASCO builds automation equipment as an original equipment manufacturer. Most critical components are manufactured in-house, keeping engineering, fabrication and system integration closely connected.
Customers work directly with the team that designs and builds their systems. That same team supports the equipment long after installation with parts and service when needed.
