Palletising solutions to improve productivity

Palletising can be used in a number of ways in a variety of industries to improve your day to day efficiency in your warehouse.

A TRIED AND EFFICIENT METHOD


Whatever the industry, palletising is a tried and efficient method. Installing such a solution can improve productivity in your workplace, by making your employees tasks much easier. subsequently, logistics solution specialists use palletising throughout the industry as it solves a lot of productivity and space-saving issues.

What is palletising?

Palletising is the method of stacking, packaging, and moving products on pallets to improve efficiency for handling, transporting, and shipping. Installation of a new solution can improve efficiency in a number of ways. 

 

Thus, less space is used up in stacking and storing methods, by stacking goods closely together. As a result, larger amounts of goods can be moved at the same time, speeding up the amount of goods moved in a particular time frame.

WHAT INDUSTRIES REGULARLY USE IT?


Due to the adaptability and wide range of palletising methods, there are a variety of industries that use it. Some of the industries that use this method regularly are:

Wood and timber
Paper manufacturing and supplying
Metal industry
Construction work
Retail manufacturing and distribution
Logistics
Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
Food manufacturing and packaging

Benefits and Applications of Palletising Across Industries

The adaptability of the palletising process, with its wide variety of methods, allows it to cater to numerous industries efficiently. By incorporating both manual labour and advanced technology, such as automatic palletising and collaborative robots, these industries benefit from a seamless production process. 

 

The use of layer palletisers, robot palletisers, and collaborative robot palletisers ensures that products of various types and box dimensions are placed onto pallets with precision. Industries such as wood and timber, paper manufacturing, metal, construction, and logistics frequently rely on these systems to handle mixed pallets and a range of pallet sizes. Retail manufacturing, distribution, and the beverage industry also utilise flexible palletising solutions to enhance their operations. High-performance palletisers with modular design and automatic changeover capabilities enable production facilities to manage cable systems efficiently and optimise floor space.

Robot Palletising in the Manufacturing Industry - L-A-C Logistics Automation

Robotic palletising

Palletising is a beneficial solution for logistics issues, but can always be improved as technology does so. Subsequently, a range of industries, including those listed above, have installed robot solutions in their warehouses.

 

What is robot palletising?

 

Palletising, as mentioned previously, is the use of pallets to stack goods or materials more effectively. Therefore, robotic palletising is the same action but with the use of robots to stack, rather than using manpower.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INSTALLATION?


There are a number of benefits to installing a robot palletising solution. Some of these include:

Speed

Using robots is faster than using your workforce to do so.

Precision

Ensured precision by elimination of human error.

Adaptability

Installations can be adaptable to different sizes, speeds and weights of goods or materials.

Cost-effectiveness

Installation ensures a long-term cost-effective solution.

Productivity

Increased through high levels of speed, precision, and adaptability.

Enhancing Efficiency with LAC Conveyors

Incorporating LAC Conveyors into the palletising process significantly enhances the efficiency and flexibility of production lines. These conveyors are instrumental in ensuring the smooth feed of pallets and the consistent transfer of products onto pallets, thereby streamlining the manufacturing process. With bespoke palletiser solutions and industrial robots, companies can achieve an efficient operation by reducing cycle time and maintenance costs, while accommodating customisable pallet designs. The integration of depalletising systems with LAC Conveyors ensures a seamless transition between different stages of production, contributing to the overall productivity and cost-effectiveness of the operation. With decades of experience, these systems offer a reliable and high-performance solution for managing the complexities of modern manufacturing and distribution environments.
