Product Infeed
Coordinate cases, containers, bags, or other supported products as they enter the palletizing process.
Robotic Palletizing Systems
Robotic Palletizing Built Around Your Production
DPPS designs robotic palletizing systems around the way your products arrive, how loads need to be built, and how finished pallets move through your operation. From standalone robotic palletizing cells to integrated material handling systems, each solution combines robotics, controls, safety, product handling, and production visibility around the application.
Application Purpose
Automate Repetitive Pallet Load Formation
Palletizing is often one of the most repetitive material handling operations at the end of a production process. A properly engineered robotic palletizing system coordinates product infeed, robotic picking, pallet patterns, load formation, safety controls, and pallet movement as one application.
DPPS develops palletizing solutions around actual production requirements rather than forcing the process into a fixed machine configuration. Product dimensions, weight, orientation, throughput requirements, available floor space, pallet dimensions, stacking patterns, and operator interaction all influence the final system.
System Flow
From Product Infeed to Completed Pallet
Product Detection & Positioning
Detect and position incoming product so the robotic operation can handle it consistently.
Robotic Pick
Select end-of-arm tooling and robotic motion around the product and required handling method.
Load Formation
Build repeatable pallet patterns around product geometry, pallet size, stacking requirements, and material flow.
Pallet Handoff
Coordinate completed loads with downstream handling or logistics operations where required.
Complete Application Engineering
More Than a Robot and a Pallet
A palletizing cell depends on much more than robot motion. DPPS integrates the controls, operator interface, safety devices, conveyors, sensors, product handling, and system logic required to make the complete application work together.
Robotic Integration
Robot selection, programming, motion, and end-of-arm tooling coordinated around the application.
PLC & HMI Controls
Controls and operator interfaces designed to make the system understandable and practical to operate.
Integrated Safety
Cell guarding, safety devices, interlocks, and operating logic coordinated with the automated process.
Material Flow
Conveyors and handling equipment integrated around product arrival and completed pallet movement.
System Flexibility
Standalone Cell or Integrated Production System
Some applications require a focused robotic palletizing cell. Others require palletizing to operate as one stage within a larger material handling or factory automation system.
DPPS supports both approaches, allowing the palletizing operation to be engineered around the surrounding equipment and production workflow.
Standalone Palletizing Cell
A focused robotic solution integrated with the product and pallet flow required for the application.
Integrated Palletizing System
Palletizing coordinated with upstream handling, conveyors, controls, production information, and downstream operations.
Connected Pallet Recipe Tools
Plan and Validate Pallet Patterns With Infinite™ Recipe Designer
Infinite™ Recipe Designer gives engineering teams visual tools to create, refine, and simulate palletizing projects. Connecting those recipe tools with a DPPS palletizing system provides a clearer path from pallet-pattern planning to the recipe selected for operation.
- Visual pallet-pattern design
- Simulation before production use
- Organized pallet recipes
- Connected operator recipe selection
