Manual pallet unloading is one of the most physically punishing jobs on any warehouse or production floor. Workers lift cases repeatedly throughout a shift, bending, twisting, and reaching at heights that climb as the pallet depletes. Injury rates are high. Turnover is higher. And when someone calls out, the receiving line stops. A robotic depalletizing machine solves all of this and keeps solving it around the clock. What has changed in the last few years is that you no longer...

Every inbound pallet that arrives at a warehouse, distribution center, or manufacturing facility needs to be unloaded. Cases, totes, bags, and mixed loads all come off pallets before they go anywhere else in the facility. That unloading process is depalletizing, and it is one of the most labor-intensive, physically demanding, and injury-prone tasks in any operation that receives goods at volume. Manual depalletizing is not sustainable at scale. The combination of repetitive heavy lifting...

Case palletizing is one of the most physically demanding and relentless tasks on any warehouse or distribution floor. Cases arrive continuously, in varying sizes, from multiple lines. Workers stack them onto pallets in patterns designed to maximize stability and load density, then do it again, and again, across an entire shift. The repetition and physical load make manual case palletizing a prime target for automation. But traditional palletizing robots have a limitation...

Stacking cases onto pallets is one of the most physically punishing jobs on any warehouse or production floor. It is also one of the most repetitive, one of the hardest to staff consistently, and one of the most straightforward to automate. Robot palletizing has been a fixture in large distribution centers for decades, but the systems that made it possible were expensive, inflexible, and sized for operations moving thousands of cases per hour. That has changed...
