What is Palletizing?
Palletizing refers to the process of placing materials and packages onto pallets for storage, protection, and transportation. Palletizing simplifies the management of goods in logistics and supply chain operations by consolidating smaller packages into a single, easily movable unit.
The goal is to create a compact, stable load that can be easily handled by forklifts, pallet jacks, and other material handling equipment. Palletizing is a critical component in the logistics industry, as it improves efficiency, reduces labor costs, and minimizes the risk of damage to products during transit.
Palletizing is a crucial component of the intra-logistics flow within production and warehouse facilities. Utilizing pallets provides significant advantages in stocking, moving, and storing goods, making them an essential part of the internal logistics process. To optimize efficiency and ensure safety throughout your operations, it is imperative to have a highly effective palletizing system in place.
How Can We Automate the Process?
Automated palletizing systems can significantly improve efficiency, accuracy, and safety in the logistics process. By improving these factors, we can guarantee a remarkable increase of the OEE.
Wemo can provide different types of automated palletizers, including:
-
Robotic Palletizers: These systems use articulated robot arms to move individual products and stack them on pallets. Robotic palletizers can handle a variety of product sizes and shapes without requiring changes to the physical equipment. They are highly flexible and efficient for mixed-use pallets.
Utilize our extensive experience and expertise as a valued provider for ABB, we are capable of delivering advanced robotic solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our partnership with ABB allows us to offer reliable performance in our robust robotic palletizing systems.
-
Linear palletizers: These are linear (gantry/cartesian) robots that offer a wide variety of options for palletizing. Big flexibility due to the easy extension of strokes, linear movements utilized the floor space to the maximum, and is based on standard well-proven products and low risk. By utilize a standard platform and a well-proven linear unit, we ensure its performance, allowing us to focus our time and effort on more crucial aspects of the process in projects.

Depalletizing
In addition to palletizing, depalletizing is an essential step in handling goods within a production or warehouse facility. Depalletizing involves the automated removal of products from pallets for further processing or distribution. By integrating advanced robotic systems, Wemo ensures efficient, accurate depalletizing operations that minimize handling time and reduce labor costs. Whether utilizing articulated or linear robots, our solutions maintain flexibility and speed, helping clients streamline the unloading process while protecting product integrity. With automated depalletizing, operations become smoother, safer, and ready to handle high-volume logistics demands.
