Palletising is a relatively straightforward process to automate, as components start in uniform and predictable positions. It’s significantly more challenging when you reverse the process. During transport, boxes and materials often shift, tilt or lose their perfect alignment, making them far more difficult to handle with traditional systems. To solve this, our solutions utilise advanced 2D/3D vision and laser sensors to scan each pallet layer in real-time, providing precise coordinates for every item and ensuring accurate picking even when products or parts are out of place.
Real-world materials introduce another layer of complexity. We have extensive experience in handling items that are geometrically variable and sensitive to environmental factors, such as humidity. Porous materials such as carton blanks and timber gluts often swell or warp, making dead-reckoning approaches unreliable. Our sensor-guided approach overcomes this by providing the robot with new data for every pick, allowing the system to adapt to the actual, current shape and size of each item, regardless of material variations.
The majority of our materials handling solutions are guided by advanced sensor technology. We integrate laser sensors and 2D/3D vision systems to provide our robots with accurate, real-time coordinates for every pick-and-place function. This sensor-driven approach ensures items are precisely located and handled, even if they have shifted, warped, or fallen out of position. By combining robust robotics with intelligent vision and sensing technology, our solutions are not just powerful and fast, but innovative and adaptable.
We’ve engineered robotic handling automation solutions that deliver measurable results for some of the region’s most recognised manufacturers.
ROI comes not only from labour savings but also from higher efficiency and uptime. By automating a frequent bottleneck, we increase throughput, reduce product damage and minimise stoppages. With 24/7 operation, systems deliver faster ROI by maximising output.
Our systems are built for adaptability. The same sensor-guided technology that manages shifted or warped materials also recognises different product shapes and sizes. This flexibility makes them ideal for operations with diverse product mixes and fast changeovers.
We use industrial-grade robots built for 24/7 operation and sensor-driven methods that eliminate manual fixes or alignment delays, ensuring fast, reliable material flow.
