Palletizing & Depalletizing
A Complete Portfolio of User-Friendly, Cost-Effective, High-Performance Solutions for Warehouses
The persistent labor shortage, rising labor costs, and the e-commerce boom are all making warehouse operators reassess how to manage product palletizing and depalletizing. Operations can no longer rely on adding manual labor to increase throughput for production, fulfillment, and shipment. They must look to automation to boost work efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enhance productivity.
Dematic Palletizing and Depalletizing systems provide flexible, scalable, labor-saving solutions that address the complexities of distribution operations. They range from semi-automated workstations to comprehensive robotic modules.
Dematic Palletizing systems build SKU-pure, rainbow, or mixed SKU pallets, roll cages, and trolleys. Dematic Depalletizing systems remove layers or individual cases from containers of varying sizes.
How do you use palletizing and depalletizing solutions?
Finding the right Dematic Palletizing and Depalletizing solution for your warehouse depends on how your products are received or assembled.
SKU Pure
Typically for manufacturing applications and food and beverage applications, where one pallet consists entirely of the same item type.
Best system match: Dematic Case Palletizing Robot
Rainbow
Think of a rainbow pallet as layers of a cake — each layer on the pallet is made entirely of one item type.
Best system match: Dematic Layer Picking Robots
Mixed SKU
Typically for grocery and retail applications. Each layer on the pallet can contain multiple item types.
Best system match: Dematic Mixed Case Palletizing
Dematic offers a portfolio of user-friendly, cost-effective, high-performance palletizing and depalletizing systems to address the complexities of distribution operations. From manual ergonomic palletizing and depalletizing stations to fully automatic robotic options, Dematic modular systems provide maximum performance, flexibility, and reliability.
Flexible and scalable systems built for your application
Low-cost systems that provide safe, efficient throughput
Ideal for distribution operations that ship a large volume of cases of varying size and shape for direct-to-store delivery, and ideal for compact spaces. These ergonomic systems automatically lower the work surface to minimize lifting and increase performance.
Automated with Dematic Software, semi-automated ergonomic workstations can:
- Organize cases in sequence so operators can simply slide them onto pallets or roll-cages
- Organize the palletizing pattern to maximize the number of cases on a pallet, ensuring more product per delivery
- Anticipate factors such as crushability and adjust picking operations to preserve product integrity — as each level is built, the pallet or roll cage automatically lowers and is stretch-wrapped to ensure load stability
