ABB Robotics - Whisky Cask Handling

Diageo is the world's leading Scotch Whisky manufacturer. Before being bottled the whisky gets its unique flavor by being matured in oak casks (barrels). Between batches the casks are thoroughly cleaned, a job now carried out by ABB robots, which has removed people from a heavy and tedious task. The ABB robot systems were designed, installed & commission by UK system integrator GeKu Automation. Two IRB 6640 robots on tracks serve 8 cleaning stations. For further information www.GeKu.co.uk
