Random mixed palletizing.

Growing SKU variation and ergonomic issues make manual palletizing increasingly difficult. Different package sizes, weights, and dimensions create challenges in maintaining consistent throughput and dense & stable pallets. A palletizing process that continuously adapts to changing package characteristics helps operations handle mixed orders with greater control.

overview

What is random mixed palletizing?

Robotic random mixed palletizing is an automated palletizing process designed for operations that handle a variety of packaging formats. Rather than relying on predefined pallet patterns, pallets are built dynamically based on incoming packages.

Mixed SKU complexity

Maintaining pallet stability

Variable carton dimensions

Ergonomic issues

Solution

System approach to these challenges

We see random mixed palletizing as a continuous optimization process rather than a predefined stacking task. Each package is evaluated within the context of the overall pallet build, allowing the system to balance load stability, pallet density, and operational flexibility. This enables operations to manage package variety without prior knowledge of the incoming load.

Performance of up to 400 picks and places per hour.
Picking carton boxes with different weights and dimensions.
Building dense and stable stacks.

Approach

A proven approach to robotic automation

The success of robotic automation depends on more than the technology itself. The way requirements are defined, engineering decisions are made, and systems are supported after commissioning all influence long-term operations performance.

Bringing together expertise across engineering, integration, commissioning, and support helps create solutions that perform reliably in operation.

“The first results are positive, and the team is pleased with the solution. They only need to feed the parcels into ROSI and no longer worry about them.”
