Every day in the UK there are millions of pallets being stacked with a wide variety of products. Estimates suggest that as much as 50-60% of this process is undertaken by hand. This is yet another reflection of how far behind the UK currently is in terms of adopting automation and robotics, and in many cases people are unaware of the current technologies available that could add tangible benefits to their business.<\/p>\n
To help you get a clearer understanding, we have put together this article as an introduction to automated pallet stacking and the key things to consider if you are thinking about investing in automation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What is palletising?<\/strong><\/p>\n Palletising is the process of placing or stacking goods onto a pallet or pallets.<\/em><\/p>\n Over the years palletising has developed from being entirely reliant on manual labour, to the introduction of automated machinery to place products onto pallets in preparation for their despatch. Efficient palletising of products is an essential part of the supply chain as it ensures the production process is leaner and more efficient. Automated palletising systems can also be designed to include the dispensing of slip sheets onto the pallet, either in-between the various product layers, or on top of the finished load.<\/p>\n Automatic pallet feeding can also be included in a robotic palletising system.\u00a0 Automated pallet feeding works in tandem with the production to keep the production line running continuously.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are the advantages of automated pallet stacking?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Typical payback calculation for an automated pallet stacking system<\/strong><\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to download our excel payback calculator with typical payback calculations, enter your full production details to see what the payback could be for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Risks of using automation and how to overcome them<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n Whilst there can be some initial challenges to overcome, this can be effectively managed by choosing a specialist automation company that will work with you to find a solution that matches your needs.<\/p>\n Try your products on a palletiser for FREE, book now!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Watch automation videos…<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Find out more…<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Bag Palletiser<\/p>\n <\/a><\/div>\n Barrel Palletiser<\/p>\n <\/a><\/div>\n Box Palletiser<\/p>\n <\/a><\/div>\n Crate Palletiser<\/p>\n <\/a><\/div>\n Tray Palletiser<\/p>\n <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every day in the UK there are millions of pallets being stacked with a wide variety of products.
