Palletisation

Automatic palletisation can be done either with jointed-arm robots or gantry robots and SSI SCHAEFER offers a complex solution for palletising outbound goods or roller containers at the end of order picking.

Benefit from perfectly orchestrated components. From load carriers to conveyor technology through to fully automated warehouses, SSI SCHAEFER offers intralogistics all from one source.

Palletised and secured in one step

Our solution contains the packing software for calculating the pallet being created, the palletisation robots and the integrated load securing equipment that consists of a stretch wrapping machine for pallets and a horizontal strapping device for roller containers. The packed but still unsecured pallets and roller containers do not need to be moved during this process, meaning that the risk of the packages falling off or slipping before the load is secured is virtually non-existing.

The packing software is designed primarily to achieve stability of the pallet being loaded but also the optimum fill level. To be able to implement the software requirements using robots in practice, the robot and gripper with its degrees of freedom are designed so that the packed units can be packed from all four sides from the middle of the pallet outwards.

The packed items are transferred without stopping from a special transfer position that also has a tip function to pick up products that have fallen over.

Because of this transfer in the move, the exact positioning at the destination and the precise setdown through the rapid retraction of the gripper prong against a retaining bar result in packing rates of over 800 units per hour.
