Robotiq launched the Lean Palletizing Experience, a breakthrough in the way manufactures start and scale automation projects, and PAL Ready, said to be the industry’s first fully production-ready palletizing cell.
“The Lean Palletizing Experience is the next chapter in our mission to simplify automation. Manufacturers shouldn’t have to choose between speed and scalability; we’re giving them both. With the launch of PAL Ready and PAL Series, palletizing is no longer a complex project but a proven, repeatable experience. This marks a turning point for manufacturers who want to start fast and scale with confidence,” says Robotiq CEO Samuel Bouchard.
Key takeaways:
· Built on the principles of lean robotics, the Lean Palletizing Experience encompasses the entire automation digital-to-physical journey.
· The Lean Palletizing Experience starts in the digital world, using Robotiq’s Palletizing Fit Tool to validate applications and its Online Configurator to design layouts. The experience transitions to the physical realm as manufacturers can see Robotiq palletizing solutions in action.
· The Lean Palletizing Experience concludes with one or more Robotiq palletizing solutions improving productivity on the customer’s factory floor.
· Throughout the experience, manufacturers have a clear roadmap to automate their end-of-line operations with structured, repeatable deployment; unified tools and workflows; a scalable architecture that grows with business needs; digital-first validation before deployment; production-ready and scalable options; and a consistent operator experience across sites.
· PAL Ready is said to be the industry’s first fully production-ready palletizing cell. It’s assembled, tested, and ready to run upon arrival. Designed for rapid deployment, it includes Robotiq Smart Infeed for seamless box handling and upstream communication; mobility features to switch between lines or enable quick factory cleaning; safety scanners for compliance and worker protection; and Robotiq PowerPick Multi Vacuum Gripper for versatile picking.
· PAL Series PAL Series delivers modular palletizing through configurable standard models and modules. Manufacturers can start small and scale to multiple cells or multi-site deployments, all with the same, thanks to software, operator interface, design logic, and building blocks.
