Swisslog ACPaQ Review Summary
Building a stable pallet from cases of many sizes is the heaviest manual job in grocery distribution. ACPaQ automates it. Its palletizing cell, RowPaQ, uses a KUKA robot with a four-fork row gripper that can pick several cases at once, even of different sizes, and set four units down at different spots on the pallet. Cases are delivered in the right sequence from a shuttle store.
Pros
Removes heavy manual palletizing
Several cases per robot cycle
Handles different case sizes
KUKA robot
Cons
Needs a sequencing buffer upstream
Large system investment
Who It Is For
