…SKUs. The system excels at stacking mixed cases, the Netherlands-based company explained. At present, following a mixed SKU stacking pattern, the Smart Mixed Case Palletizer can pre-sort mixed batches of items, packaged in medium to large (up to 25kg) boxes, from the sorter to pallet. Based on the robot’s stacking accuracy and palletizing efficiency, small load distribution improves, the company claimed. The robot’s stacking behavior is not limited to packages that are of the same size or weight and it can predict its own stacking sequence, Smart Robotics said. It does not rely on a predetermined stacking pattern, meaning the…
