What Are the Key Differences Between a Conventional Layer Style Palletizer and Robotic Palletizer?
Choosing the right palletizing system requires understanding the fundamental differences between conventional layer palletizers and robotic palletizers.
Conventional Layer Palletizers
Speed and Efficiency
- High Throughput: Conventional automated palletizers are designed for high-speed operations, making them ideal for industries that require rapid palletizing of uniform products (Handles 1 SKU at a time).
- Mechanical Simplicity: They utilise mechanical components and straightforward movements, which can result in reliable performance and easier maintenance.
Limitations
- Less Flexibility: These systems are typically optimised for specific product sizes and configurations. Adjusting to different product types may require mechanical changes.
- Space Requirements: Conventional palletizers often have a larger footprint due to their mechanical nature and may require more floor space in your facility.
Robotic Palletizers
Flexibility and Adaptability
- Versatile Handling: Robotic palletizers use articulated arms and can handle a variety of products, sizes, and pallet patterns without extensive reconfiguration (Handles multiple SKUs at a time).
- Easy Programming: Adjustments for new products or patterns can often be made through software updates, reducing downtime and increasing adaptability.
Advantages
- Space Efficiency: With a more compact design, robotic palletizers are suitable for facilities with limited space.
- Future-Proofing: Their adaptability makes them a scalable solution that can evolve with your business needs.
