Robotic Palletizing - LEANTEC Intelligence

Smart Palletizing Solution

Palletizing, widely applied in logistics and food processing industries, involves stacking cartons onto pallets or cages. Traditionally, this task has been carried out manually, leading to higher labor costs for manufacturers. Moreover, prolonged manual handling poses significant health risks to workers. The process also requires careful consideration of carton and pallet sizes to optimize stacking efficiency. However, pre-planning stacking methods can be challenging to communicate effectively with operators. When product changes occur frequently, this necessitates re-communication of new stacking procedures, adding unnecessary costs and operational complexity.

Functionality Description

The drag-and-drop interface allows users to easily adjust the position of workpieces, enhancing the user-friendliness of the teaching process. By pre-planning the layout of workpieces on the pallet, it effectively maximizes pallet space utilization.
Each workpiece’s orientation, movement path, and speed can be individually set, preventing path interference during stacking. Additionally, the flexibility to adjust stacking speed improves overall stacking efficiency.

Problem Statement

Traditional stacking methods are difficult to communicate and explain to operators. Frequent line changes require redesigning the stacking approach each time, leading to high communication costs and significant time and resource wastage.

Workpiece Placement Configuration

Functionality Description

Each stacking layer supports independent XYZ offsets, allowing for quick and precise adjustments of the placement position during production. This feature makes it easier to integrate the stacking process and enhances overall flexibility.

Problem Statement

Due to packaging tolerances, slight misalignments can occur when placing workpieces in each layer. As the stack height increases, these small deviations can lead to an overall shift in the stack’s center of gravity, potentially affecting stability.

Functionality Description

The system supports multiple workpiece size settings on the same production line, accommodating various palletizing scenarios.
The stacking pattern configuration also allows for different workpiece sizes to be incorporated, making it easier to plan and design stacking layouts for diverse workpieces.

Problem Statement

Production lines often receive two or more different types of workpieces, with varying sizes. This creates challenges in designing stacking patterns, as the differences in size complicate the process.
