Gripper Technologies
The interface between robot and load: vacuum, clamp, combined and layer grippers, engineered for the application.
- Vacuum gripper: cases, cartons and trays with flat, non-porous surfaces
- Clamp gripper: pails, drums and block loads that need to be gripped from the side
- Combined vacuum and clamp: cells that handle more than one product type

Vision-Guided Picking
Reads the position of randomly presented product on the conveyor and redefines the robot pick point every cycle.
- Position of randomly presented product determined on every cycle
- Less reliance on mechanical alignment and guiding hardware
- Integrated into product grouping and loading ahead of case packing
Pallet Pattern & Recipe Management
Pallet layouts stored as recallable recipes instead of mechanical setups: the basis for mixed pallets and order-based palletizing.
- Custom stacking patterns defined per product and pallet size
- Patterns stored as recipes and recalled from the HMI
- Load stability and space utilisation optimised together

PLC & HMI Control
A PLC architecture that brings the whole cell under one control layer, with a touchscreen HMI as the operator's way in.
- All cell components brought under a single PLC architecture
- Recipe selection and format changeover from the touchscreen HMI
- Operating status, production flow and alarms on one screen
Slip Sheet & Pallet Feeding
Empty pallet magazines, automatic pallet dispensing and slip sheet placement, closing the steps of the cycle that still wait on an operator.
- Empty pallet magazine: pallets stored and fed in sequence
- Automatic pallet dispenser keeping the cell supplied without interruption
- Slip sheet dispenser placing sheets between layers
