Robotic depalletising cell
Pallets in, single cases out: 3D vision recognises mixed stacks with no pattern taught in advance.
Pallets in, single cases out: 3D vision recognises mixed stacks with no pattern taught in advance.
A robotic depalletising cell lifts cases one by one from inbound pallets onto a conveyor or into totes for put-away, sorting or line feeding. 3D vision looks down at each layer and identifies position, size and orientation, so pallets with several case types are handled. Empty pallets can be recovered automatically. Stretch wrap, strapping and badly collapsed pallets need separate handling.
Typical uses
- Inbound depalletising ahead of an AS/RS
- Mixed-pallet depalletising in FMCG warehouses
- Raw-material feeding of production lines
- Automatic sorter induction
Key figures
| Rate | Single case type, case by case: typically about 500–900 cases/h; mixed cases about 400–700 cases/h |
|---|---|
| Case weight | ≤ 30 kg (vacuum) / ≤ 50 kg (clamp) |
| Case size | 200–800 mm |
| Stack height | ≤ 2,200 mm |
| Vision | 3D camera recognises mixed cases; visible gaps between cases are needed. No pre-defined pallet patterns; new case types are confirmed with samples |
| Gripper | Zoned vacuum or clamp |
| Pallets | Euro / industrial, automatic recovery |
Figures are typical configuration ranges; exact specifications are set per project.
