Consistent pattern
Place each product at the defined position and orientation while protecting edges, seals and surfaces.
End-of-line pallet building and unloading
Robotic Palletising Systems
Automate the stacking or removal of cases, trays, sacks, containers, boards and suitable products with the robot, gripper, infeed, pallet handling and controls engineered as one system.
Where robotic palletising may fit
Remove the repetitive end-of-line lift.
The strongest applications have known products, patterns, rates and pallet logistics, with changeover and recovery considered from the start.
- 01
Manual pallet building creates repetitive lifting, inconsistent output or staffing pressure
- 02
Several product formats need recipe-controlled patterns or planned changeover
- 03
Multiple infeed lines could share one correctly sized robot and pallet area
- 04
Palletising must connect with conveying, wrapping, labelling or warehouse movement
Palletising outcomesA stable load,
A stable load,
built at the required rate.
Robot speed is only useful when products arrive correctly, pallets are available and the completed load can leave the cell.
Controlled product flow
Manage infeed spacing, orientation, accumulation and line priority before the robot pick.
Practical pallet exchange
Coordinate empty pallet supply, completed pallet removal, access and safe recovery.

We define the equipment needed between the production line and a stable, transferable pallet load.
Product infeed
Conveying, spacing, turning, accumulation and confirmation before pickup.
Pallet pattern
Layer geometry, orientation, overhang rules, stability and product-specific constraints.
Robot and gripper
Payload, reach, cycle, multi-pick options and contact method calculated together.
Pallet logistics
Empty pallet magazine, pallet conveyor, truck access or manual exchange concept.
Line integration
Recipes, product identity, wrapping or labelling interfaces, diagnostics and fault recovery.
Selection decisions01 02 03 04
Choose around rate, load and layout.
Industrial or collaborative
Compare real throughput, payload, reach, space, interaction and safeguarding—not the robot label alone.
Single or multi-pick
Picking more than one product can improve rate, but increases tooling mass, reach demand and product-control requirements.
One line or several
A shared robot may improve utilisation when buffering, line priority and pallet positions are engineered correctly.
Palletising or depalletising
Depalletising adds uncertainty from load shift, damaged packaging, separators and incomplete layers.
Robotic palletising FAQs
Useful answers before a technical review.
Final performance depends on the product, presentation, rate, layout and surrounding process.
What is a robotic palletising system?
A robotic palletising system picks products such as cases, trays, sacks, containers or boards and places them in a defined pattern on a pallet. The complete cell can include infeed conveyors, product orientation, pallet handling, slip sheets, guarding, controls and discharge.
Can the same robot handle several products and pallet patterns?
Often, within a defined product family. Recipe-controlled patterns, adjustable guides, suitable grippers and verified product data can support changeover, but payload, stability and reach must be checked for every format.
Should I use a cobot palletiser or an industrial robot?
Cobots may suit some lower-rate, lighter-load or flexible applications. Industrial robots can be better for higher speed, larger working envelopes, multi-line duties or heavier products. The choice follows the complete application and risk assessment.
Can a robot depalletise as well as palletise?
Yes, when the incoming load is sufficiently predictable or can be located with sensing or vision. Layer condition, load shift, separators, product damage and the final difficult layer all need specific consideration.
What information is needed to quote a robotic palletiser?
Provide product dimensions and weights, permitted pickup faces, line rate, infeed height and direction, pallet type and height, required patterns, pallet change method, available layout, shift pattern and any stretch wrapping or labelling interfaces.
