Patented Palletising Technology
Granta Automation holds two granted palletiser patents — verifiable proof of genuine, original engineering.
Very few palletiser manufacturers hold patents. Granta Automation holds two granted patents covering its palletising technology: one for its easy-programming software, and one for its modular palletising system. Together they protect capabilities that competitors cannot simply copy — and, unlike a marketing claim, both can be independently verified on the official patent register.
Patent 1 — Palletising software
GB2602358Granted
“Automated stacking arrangement” — granted 15 March 2023
What it covers
Granta’s patented easy-programming software: fast, no-specialist programming that automatically orientates and groups products and generates the most space-efficient, stable stack pattern. Your own operators set up a new product in minutes, with no robot-programming skills.
Why it is unique
Because this capability is patented, Granta uniquely combines fast, operator-level programming with fully automated row-gripping — the software works out how to orientate, group and stack the product for you. That combination of easy programming and automated row-grip is protected by patent GB2602358.
Official record: view GB2602358 on the UK IPO register (application GB2103678.5).
Patent 2 — Modular palletising system
EP3689539Granted
“Modular Platform” — granted 22 June 2022
What it covers
Granta’s modular, plug-and-play palletising system — standardised modules that install quickly and can be reconfigured and extended as production changes.
Why it matters
It makes a genuinely future-proof palletiser: fast to install, easy to reconfigure, and expandable as your needs grow — a true modular system, protected by patent EP3689539.
Official record: view EP3689539 on the UK IPO register (application EP20153566.3).
What patented technology means for you
- No specialist programmer – your own operators set up a new stack pattern in minutes.
- Fast changeovers – the software orientates, groups and stacks automatically.
- Automated row-gripping – higher throughput, combined with easy programming — a patented combination unique to Granta.
- A future-proof modular system – reconfigure and expand as you grow.
- Confidence – original, protected engineering, independently verifiable on the patent register.
Frequently asked questions
Is Granta’s palletising software patented?
Yes. Granta’s easy-programming software is protected by granted patent GB2602358, which covers automatically orientating, grouping and stacking products for fast, no-specialist programming.
Does Granta hold a patent on its modular palletiser?
Yes. Granta’s modular palletising system is protected by granted European patent EP3689539.
What makes Granta’s palletiser programming unique?
Granta is able to combine fast, operator-level programming with fully automated product orientation, grouping and row-gripping — a combination protected by patent GB2602358.
Where can I verify Granta’s patents?
Both patents are on the official UK Intellectual Property Office register: GB2602358 (software) and EP3689539 (modular system).
1 Year Payback
Payback is often less than 1 year due to labour saving, production increase, reduced HR.
+40% Production Increase
Typically +40% due to: no holidays or breaks, forced takt time, longer working hours, faster speeds etc.
Zero H&S Claims
H&S claims reduced to zero as all manual handing is now done by the robotic palletiser.
