Collaborative robots dedicated to palletizing are rapidly becoming a practical pathway for consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers to automate end-of-line operations and reduce ergonomic risks.
This session examines the latest generation of cobot palletizing solutions, highlighting real-world capabilities such as handling heavier payloads, AI-driven motion planning, advanced palletizing software, compact cell designs, and integrated smart vision systems.
Attendees will gain practical guidance on evaluating and deploying these technologies to improve throughput, safety, and floor space optimization.
Learning Objectives
- Attendees will understand which real-world capabilities are already available, including higher payloads and extended reach, and how these solutions enable palletizing automation even in facilities with limited space or high format variability.
- They will learn how AI-based motion planning, intuitive palletizing software, and smart vision systems enable fast SKU changeovers, improved pallet stability, and reduced downtime without requiring complex programming.
- Participants will take away clear guidelines for selecting the right solution based on payload, speed, layout, and safety, along with best practices for implementing cobots that reduce ergonomic risks, optimize floor space, and improve operational performance with an achievable ROI.
