Robotic palletizing in industry

For smart factories in Industry 4.0, and even for medium and small companies, robotization is an alternative that optimizes the production line, enhances its results and adds countless other benefits. 

Robotic palletizing refers to the use of industrial robots to perform tasks related to pallet formation and movement at the end of the production line. A measure that increases the efficiency, precision and agility of this stage of the process. 

Next, you will explore the main positive points of adopting automated palletizing systems. 

Advantages and benefits of robotic palletizing for business 

Robotic palletizing, by integrating intelligent automation into the process of moving and stacking products, offers a series of advantages and benefits that positively impact business results. 

Among the main competitive advantages promoted by robotic palletizing, we can highlight:

• Operational efficiency.
• Accuracy and consistency.
• Flexibility and adaptability.
• Reduction of operational costs
• Increase in production capacity.
• Integration into Industry 4.0.

And yet, there is another very important benefit: by transferring repetitive and often heavy tasks to robots, employees’ working conditions are improved, as ergonomic risks are reduced and the industrial environment becomes much safer.

Indumak PA-50 robotic palletizing system 

Indumak’s PA-50 robotic palletizing system is highly versatile and applicable to various products. With many accessories, it offers flexibility in layout configuration, allowing different operating and movement regimes. 

Furthermore, the system fully controls interactions with products and follows specific safety practices and standards for the use of robots in industry, ensuring flexible and safe operation.

Indumak options for palletizing 

Indumak also offers a series of options to create even more complete palletizing systems. Check out: 

Indumak grips for palletizing 

Fundamental to the efficiency and precision of palletizing robots, grips are essential components for handling and moving products at the end of the production line. 

These parts play a crucial role in ensuring that cargo is properly grabbed, moved and positioned on pallets, and directly contribute to the effectiveness and safety of the palletizing system. 

Indumak offers five different gripper models, including: 

• Double grip for boxes.
• Clamp for bales and boxes.
• Articulated grip for bales measuring 390x290x550 mm.
• Simple gripper for boxes.
• Rake grab for sacks measuring 730×1,160×1,100 mm.

Indumak Slip Sheet 

The use of slip sheets in palletizing is a strategic practice that has gained prominence in the industrial environment. It consists of using thin sheets, usually cardboard to protect and separate products during the pallet stacking process. 

The Indumak Slip Sheet is used to store and transport the thin sheets that protect products when palletizing, storing and transporting loaded pallets. Among the benefits of applying slip sheets are cost reduction, space savings when replacing pallets, time savings with material maintenance and sustainability due to the possibility of involving recycling. 

Indumak Pallet Dispenser 

With the Indumak Pallet Dispenser you can automate the storage and release of pallets automatically, using an operation integrated into the work cycle of the cell in the palletizing system. 

Indumak Stretch Solutions 

To complete the palletizing journey, the stretching stage is essential to guarantee the integrity and stability of the loads. The process, which involves applying elastic plastic film around products stacked on pallets, aims to unify and protect the items. 

Indumak offers three different options for this stage of your production: 

• Stationary Stretch —with a production capacity of 25 pallets/hour.
• Vertical Stretch — Integrated with the PA-50, with a production capacity of 33 pallets/hour.
• Stretch Orbital — with capacity for 33 pallets/hour.
