Configurable Robotic Palletizer

Automatic palletizing can have a significantly positive impact on your packaging operation. Since manual palletizing is often the most injury-prone part of the packaging process, automating the process reduces downtime and the risk of injuries associated with heavy lifting. Pearson designs its palletizing and de-palletizing cells with built-in flexibility for future pattern changes and rapid changeovers. They are easy to operate and require minimal maintenance to perform at exceptional levels. Sturdy steel frames and heavy-duty construction withstand heavy use and loads, even in caustic environments. Every manufacturing process is different, from products to physical space, so your machinery should be designed to your requirements. Relying on over thirty years of robotic integration and packaging automation experience, Pearson Packaging Systems will tailor your new robotic palletizers to overcome your unique manufacturing challenges and enhance your operation lastingly.

Cut Costs With Automated Palletizers

Operational efficiencies are all about cutting costs and increasing production throughput. In the ongoing struggle to combat supply chain pressures and maintain healthy margins, automation plays a vital role and robotic palletizers are a key component.

• Increased speed: Being at the end of the packaging line, the palletization can become a bottleneck if it cannot keep up with the product flow upstream. Automating this process will enable your operation to keep up with the throughput demands.
• Reduce injuries: Palletizing is a notorious source for injuries from constant lifting and bending. An automatic palletizer will protect your workers and your company from unnecessary L&I claims.
• Reduced labor costs: Our robotic palletizer can work around the clock. It does not require breaks, stacks pallets faster than most people can, and won’t get tired or sick. And instead of rising wages, your per hour cost will only go down.

Robotic Palletizers Configured to Your Needs

Automating your palletizing operation is a big undertaking. To ensure that the end result provides you with all the benefits you hoped for, we will dive deep into understanding your unique palletization requirements, challenges and limitations. Together with your Pearson sales manager and application engineer, we will gather detailed information to optimize your palletizer. The following list is not exhaustive but provides a good overview of some of the details we like to understand.

• Case/Product information: We will need to know what type of case or product you are running such as RSC, HSC, Bags or trays. How many different SKU’s do you want the machine to handle? Per SKU, we will need dimensions, weight, type of seal and case rate. In addition, we will ask you about how the product enters the robotic palletizer.
• Pallet information: To build your desired pallet patterns, we need to understand what they look like, how many you have, if you require pallet sheets or layer sheets, what type of pallets you use (GMA, ChEP or HT), their weight and dimension.
• Production environment: Important aspects for us to know are: your ambient temperature to evaluate if the robotic palletizer will need heat or cooling support, if there are any physical obstructions, your ceiling heights, and what your concrete thickness is; to adequately support the robot and production flow and discharge heights.
• Built-in capabilities: Do you need automatic pallet dispensing, stretch wrapping or any other extended capability?
• Specification requirements:  Does your company have specific technical requirements for guarding, electrical or air?
