My Search for a Palletizing Robot

Modern Technology has brought many useful inventions that have revolutionized the way in which the manufacturing community produces and ships out goods. Robotics is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Robotic palletizing is one of the most helpful inventions because it adds speed and reliability to your line. It will eliminate imbalanced loads and give you some predictability in how long it will take to stack a pallet with your product. You can have your laborers work in other essential areas because a palletizing robot will be able to get the job done faster.

My company produced landscaping bricks. We made several different colors and styles and we sold them in large stacks on a pallet. Then these pallets were stacked into the back of a truck and sent out to its destination. I was hoping that robotic palletizing could speed things up a bit.

You can count on robotic palletizing because of its repeatability. Within a given time frame the robot will complete once cycle of picking up an object, stacking it on the pallet, and then returning to is original position. With some quick calculations you will be able to figure out exactly how long it will take to have your order ready to ship.

There are a number of different robotics manufacturers that have designed robots to accommodate palletizing needs. These designs range from heavy duty palletizers to fast and efficient more compact units that can still handle a decent payload.

One of the manufacturers was kawasaki robotics. They design and manufacturer robots that palletize and that can handle a wide range of payloads. I heard that kawasaki robots were known for designing robots that were user friendly and reliable.

Some of my other competitors used palletizing robots from some other manufacturers out there besides kawasaki robotics and have been very pleased with their results. I knew that there were other manufacturers out there so I decided to shop around.

Before settling upon one of these robotic manufacturers, take the time to compare and contrast pricing on palletizing robots and the payload that they can handle. Also make sure that they will be able to perform all of the necessary functions that you require.

I had hopes that the palletizing robot would make the entire process much more efficient and predictable. I was happy that I found an affordable option.
