Production line for On-Awa, a solid bath salt sold by Earth Chemical Co.

Each line is equipped with one robot that collects the correct number of bath salts and transfers them to the boxing process. The collecting robots are made by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and in front of each of the four robots, bath salts produced in its own line are placed. If a problem occurs in the production line and bath salts do not flow, the robots automatically determine the problem and accumulate the stored bath salts. If the stoppage is for a short time, it will not affect the accumulation work. Shigekazu Terada, plant manager of the Ako Plant in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture, says, 'We are also using robots in the process of stacking product cases on pallets, and both types of robots are contributing to efficiency.
