Automatic palletizing and depalletizing
With the world’s largest portfolio of palletizing robots, palletizing software and comprehensive services, KUKA offers perfectly matched solutions for robot-based palletizing and depalletizing in a wide range of industries.
Mono-palletizing
For handling unmixed packages, KUKA offers not only various palletizing robots but also the palletizing software KUKA.PalletTech for particularly straightforward configuration and fast start-up of your palletizing application.
It enables you to carry out the stacking and feeding of such items as:
-
Vegetable crates
-
Frozen fish
-
Trays with chicken eggs
-
Beer crates
-
Water canisters
Mixed palletizing
For challenging mixed case palletizing, we offer various high-performance solutions such as complete feeder systems from Swisslog or software solutions from our global network of system partners, each of which is tailored to KUKA machines and enables smooth integration.
Possible areas of application:
-
Picking goods
-
Store-specific pallet layout
-
Automatic stacking of goods on a pallet according to weight, size and pressure sensitivity
-
Repalletizing in goods distribution centers
Depalletizing
For automatic depalletizing, you can additionally use the KUKA.PerceptionTech software option together with the rc_visard sensor from Roboception or KUKA.VisionTech in order to identify unclean pallet stacks or unknown heights.
Examples of depalletizing:
- Unstacking grain bags for loading onto trucks
- Unstacking empty glass containers
- Unstacking empties
- Dismantling pallet stacks and distributing the unladen pallets
- Unstacking small load carriers

Cold storage palletizing
Even at sub-zero temperatures down to minus 30 degrees Celsius, the KR QUANTEC PA robot in the Arctic version palletizes quickly, precisely and without a protective cover. Its great reach allows for short cycle times and high flexibility during the automatic stacking and setting down of items in a frosty environment. The robot also ensures that an uninterrupted, automated cold chain is maintained.
It enables you to carry out the stacking and feeding of such items as:
-
Frozen vegetables and frozen herbs
-
Ice cream
-
Meat and poultry
-
Frozen pizza
