Robotic Automation is merging as one of the fastest growing automation plant improvements in the last five years. Robotic automation allows a plant to be flexible and reliable all while operating at lower overhead costs. However, putting in robotics isn't as easy as ordering up a cell and placing it within the plant's system. There are many considerations that need to happen to make sure that the best area in the plant is indeed being automated. Don Wickstrum, Owner & President of Quest Industrial will thoroughly explain the first steps in preparing a plant for robotic automation. Don will discuss what considerations need to be thought of, benefit factors from robotic automation, preparing staff members for robotic automation, gathering information for the decision making process & choosing an integrator, and with how to properly plan for the project.

2014 Cheese Days – We Fight to Protect Wisconsin’s Greatest Treasure!

A few weeks ago, Quest Industrial had the opportunity to participate in the 2014 Cheese Days Parade. Quest Industrial teamed up with Ruchti Stainless to build a float like no other. Our programming engineers developed the concept for the float months ago and had been working to perfect it during the months and weeks before the event. The past couple of years have been difficult for dairy plants across the nation with rules and regulations coming at them from every single direction, the economy not being the best along with loyal, hardworking and knowledgeable employees hard to keep. Quest Industrial and Ruchti Stainless wanted their customers, friends and the other people attending the parade to know that the two companies work diligently to provide quality products that will help dairy plants to successfully meet and surpass industry standards, rules and regulations.  We understand how difficult that can be and we strive to develop and create products that are strong, reliable, efficient and USDA compliant. If you were at the 2014 Cheese Days Parade, we hope that you enjoyed the float! We cannot even express how much fun we had at this event and what an honor it was to be able to represent our community.

To Chicago and Back – The International Dairy Show

The Quest Industrial team had a great week in Chicago at the International Dairy Show and Process Expo.  Quest's experts met with numerous business owners and managers to discuss automation options for their facilities.  This year, Quest showcased the very compact Boxed-Bot a space saving fully functional Robotic Palletizer that is part of the Quest Q-Pact Robotic Palletizer Line.  It incorporates QBox pallet building software from Got-Bot.com to allow for maximum palletizing efficiency.  Visitors to the booth were able to get hands-on with the equipment and actually use the intuitive touchscreen HMI to change the size of boxes and create pallet patterns with the touch and drag features.  The guests immediately saw the box shift to where it was placed and enjoyed the minimal training required to operate the machinery. Not only did Quest Industrial showcase the Boxed-Bot, but the team was also a finalist for the Innovation Awards that took place during the International Dairy Show.  Quest had submitted the Pro Pick Pack, which is a 3-in-1 box erecting, packing and sealing machine that is compact and easy to maintain.  On the last day of the show, Wednesday, the owner, Don Wickstrum, was called up on stage to accept the award for the Pro Pick Pack, which was featured under the Sustainability Category.  The Quest Industrial team has worked hard to develop products that work for their customers and are easy to use.  Mr. Wickstrum said, "We work together as a team to bring all ideas to the table to develop products that work great for our customers.  We want to keep those people surprised with our innovations year after year.  Next year will bring more changes to our equipment to ensure that ours [...]
