Smart Robotics has launched Smart Mixed Case Palletizer, an industrial robot pick & place station designed to improve warehouse delivery speed by eliminating manual palletizing of mixed SKUs. By using warehouse automation, the robot allows large distribution centers to pre-sort to multiple destinations without increasing labor.
The Smart Mixed Case Palletizer allows for improved warehouse capacity by automatically stacking goods for delivery from the main warehouse to the respective receiving location, without warehouse floor workers having to manually pick and place goods.
As the next-gen version of its predecessor, the Smart Palletizer, the Smart Mixed Case Palletizer is able to stack mixed cases. The robot’s stacking behaviour is not limited to packages that are of the same size or weight and it can predict its own stacking sequence, as if playing Tetris. It does not rely on a predetermined stacking pattern, meaning the robot can govern itself to efficiently sort and stack randomly mixed parcels as they come in.
