Palletizing Solutions

 

If you're in the manufacturing sector, a robotic palletizing solution could be beneficial for you. Palletizing is a simple, repetitive task and is the action of placing finished products on a pallet ready for shipment or storage in the logistics supply chain. By introducing robotic palletizing solutions, it ensures you get the flexibility, productivity and reliability you need to meet ever shorter product life-cycles, new packaging designs, multiple pack sizes & product variants and batch manufacturing.

Selecting the right robot for your application is critical, and that’s why we are here to help. The following factors: payload, duty, reach, cycle time, weight of products and floor space, all affect which robot is suitable for your project. Applied Integration have an in house digital twin team who can set up the process and make modifications in a virtual reality (VR) environment before being applied to the final system, avoiding risk and loss of production.

For a robot palletizing cell the following areas need to be taken into account:

- Weight of the payload and the robot

- Speed of the load

- Type of product (size, material, etc.)

- Shape of all the moving parts (presence of sharp edges, etc.)

- Presence of a linear axis, which most of the time cannot be power/force limited

Many logistics and warehouse companies especially within the food and beverage markets, have the potential to increase their productivity and free up their employees for higher value-added tasks by adopting Robotic Palletizing Solutions. Implementing this solution will make a big difference in labour, time to market and cost effectiveness.
