Robot Palletising in the Manufacturing Industry

Types of robotic palletising at LAC Logistics Automation

The UK manufacturing industry is sometimes considered as a declining industry. However, the UK is currently the 9th largest manufacturing nation on the globe. It employs over 2.5 million people and has an annual output of almost £200 billion. Robot palletising is one of many solutions that can support the manufacturing industry. When used in the right way, robot palletising offers a flexible and fast palletising solution. Most importantly, making it a cost-effective way to palletise in the manufacturing industry.

What is robotic palletising?

Palletising can be defined as ‘the action of loading or stacking goods on pallets in a defined pattern’. Thus, robotic palletising is the use and installation of robotic systems to fulfil the palletising function. Although, robot palletising differs from the other methods of automated palletising, as it provides a higher-level of control of the arrangement of each pallet.

Robot or robotic palletising is usually installed for speedy transportation of larger and heavier goods. Therefore, offers a solution with an easily adaptable method of transportation, whether the differential is size, weight or speed.
