Palletizing Robot
Automated Palletizing Solutions
Cross palletizing solutions aim to eliminate workers from doing repetitive bending and lifting tasks that can lead to workplace injuries. Staff can then be allocated to higher value decision-based work that is less mundane and can’t be easily automated. See the ROI analysis on how this reduced risk impacts operating expenses.
Cross palletizing robots offer a flexible solution to eliminate repetitive, manual stacking and unstacking tasks. The small footprint makes them ideal for tight manufacturing lines and allows them to adapt to different tasks as needed. Automatic palletizer models are available for different payloads, cycle times and column heights. They can be compact or custom-sized (based on the needs of your operation). These collaborative robots can increase worker safety, overall production, and, through a positive ROI, your bottom line.
Pallet configuration software eliminates the need for complex robotic programming and makes redeploying this solution for a different production line or package size much quicker.
Current Cross customers report that the payback of their system is less than two years. For multi-shift operations, the payback can be much sooner, as you can see in the ROI example below. The flexible Cross palletizing system will reduce your production costs, ergonomic-related injuries, and any quality issues. Cobots like automated palletizers are designed to integrate easily into your existing system. Creating solutions designed for your process.

Benefits of Automated Palletizing Systems
A highly performing cobot or palletizing solution translates to both increased profitability and higher safety. Robotic palletizers are now able to solve issues that their older counterparts simply couldn’t. The efficiency of a robotic palletizing machine almost lets products palletize themselves. And while the robot is doing the work, employees are able to focus on more important tasks that directly add value to the manufacturing process. Or they’re removed from potentially dangerous situations all together.
Some immediate advantages to automating the palletizing process include increases in safety, accuracy, and your bottom line.
Increased Safety
Strains and sprains are the most common workplace injury in the United States. And a leading cause of these types of injuries is over-straining from long hours of repetitive work. Introducing a palletizer onto the manufacturing line is a proven way to mitigate workplace injuries from repetitive over-exertion.
Improved Accuracy
When performing the same task over and over for long stretches of time, small errors and mistakes start to pile up. While a human operator may begin to lose focus, a palletizing robot will not. Palletizing machines are more accurate and precise and will not begin to make small mistakes after long hours of the same task.
Better Bottom Line
When it comes to manufacturing, shorter cycle times and increased throughput are crucial to your bottom line. Substantially increasing that bottom line requires a versatile, powerful automated system. With the direction many industries are moving, automated robotic solutions are increasingly becoming less and less optional.

FAQs About Palletizers
Implementing a robotic palletizer can have many benefits in terms of damage prevention and on-time production. When it comes to repetitive task automation, a robot will always out-perform a person. The robot moves the exact same way every single time in exactly the way they were programmed to. This effectively eliminates potential unnecessary damage to products (such as dropping or incorrect stacking). With end of arm tools (EOATs), many robots are able to utilize adaptive gripping technologies, which can prevent unwanted tearing or bending.
Several factors must be considered when deciding on the right palletizing robot for your workflow. The first step is understanding your range of products and packaging types, and determining the needs of both. Next, it’s important to consider the speed the production line needs to move. Is your potential robotic solution able to keep up? Finally, is the robotic palletizer you’re considering able to adapt to future changes in the production and manufacturing process? With these questions in mind, you should be able to determine the right palletizer for your process and needs.
A major vote of confidence from our customers is our ROI. Cross robotic palletizer customers report that their new automated system has begun paying for itself in less than two years (with some reporting even faster returns). We design and engineer robotic systems to optimize your production processes and maximize your bottom line. It’s as simple as that.
Cross can create custom conveyors and reject stations for your palletizer
When it comes to your palletizing process, ensuring a seamless and efficient operation is vital. Upstream issues like improperly sealed boxes, unlabeled items, or other defects can disrupt the workflow. A highly effective solution to tackle these challenges is to implement a reject station just before your palletizer. At Cross, our dedicated team specializes in tailoring custom conveyors with integrated reject stations that align perfectly with your specific requirements.
These reject stations are equipped with advanced features such as barcode scanners and laser systems, enabling precise box measurements to verify their suitability for palletization. What sets our solutions apart is the fact that we design and build the entire system in-house. This means we can fully adapt to your configuration and dimension needs, ensuring a truly tailored and efficient solution for your palletizing process. Don’t let upstream issues disrupt your operations – let Cross create a custom reject station to enhance the quality and efficiency of your palletizer system.
