At Granta Automation, we specialise in KUKA-based robotic palletising systems, enhanced with our patented software, to create solutions that work harder, smarter, and longer for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Platinum Partnership, Proven Expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past five years, Granta Automation has held KUKA Platinum System Partner status \u2014 the highest tier in KUKA\u2019s partner programme. This recognition reflects consistent excellence in delivering complex automation projects, deep technical expertise, and a commitment to quality and innovation. (<a href=\"https:\/\/my.kuka.com\/s\/partner-details?language=en_US&amp;_gl=1*19i6psh*_gcl_au*NDg2MTg0NjQ0LjE3NzA2MzExNzY.&amp;id=001580000147djuAAA\">kuka.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KUKA itself notes that the robot is just 25\u202f% of an integrated solution, with the remaining 75\u202f% reliant on system integration, tooling, and software. Our Platinum status signals that Granta excels in these areas, turning advanced robotics into fully realised, high-performance palletising systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patented Easy Programming Software: Intelligence in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granta\u2019s patented software is a major differentiator in our palletising solutions, giving customers unmatched flexibility, speed, and ease of operation. Key benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rapid Setup:<\/strong> Stack patterns can be created in minutes, dramatically reducing commissioning time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Specialist Skills Required:<\/strong> Operators can program new stack configurations themselves, with an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexible Changeovers:<\/strong> Product sizes and stack layouts can be adjusted in minutes, enabling fast responses to changing production requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optimised Stacking Efficiency:<\/strong> The software automatically calculates pallet layouts for maximum load efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automated Multi-Pick:<\/strong> Products are rotated and grouped for multi-picking or row gripping, increasing throughput and reducing cycle times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fully Automatic Programming Option:<\/strong> Systems can include measuring lasers to automatically generate stack patterns which is especially useful for short runs or frequent changeovers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining KUKA robots with our patented easy programming software, Granta builds palletising systems that aren\u2019t just automated \u2014 they\u2019re smart, adaptable, and efficient, delivering measurable results on the factory floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Real Results for Real Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granta Automation\u2019s approach translates directly into operational advantage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2714 <strong>Reliability:<\/strong> Systems engineered for maximum uptime<br>\u2714 <strong>Flexibility:<\/strong> Tailored solutions for specific production lines and SKUs<br>\u2714 <strong>Efficiency:<\/strong> Reduced costs, faster changeovers, and simplified maintenance<br>\u2714 <strong>Confidence:<\/strong> Proven performance backed by a five-year Platinum partnership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Choose Granta<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers who work with Granta Automation gain more than a supplier \u2014 they gain a long-term partner
