1.- Palleting with robots and layers: these are systems that automatically assemble pallets that weigh up to two tons. These systems are normally used when the rates of production lines are high and accuracy is essential.

A very simple classification can be made according to the rate and kind of supply:

  • Lowe supply palletizers.
  • Middle supply palletizers.
  • Upper supply palletizers.
  • Robotic palletizers.

2.- AS/RS (Uniload y Miniload): When the product is finished, they are sent to the loading or storage area. If you want to storage, the best choice will be an automated storehouse, such as the uniload or Miniload.

The Miniload is an automated storehouse that is particularly designed to manage boxes or containers. It works with storage and assortment of boxes according to the requests made by the system and it updates the inventory in real time.

The Uniload is an automated storage in which 80% of their processes are carried out through pallets. They are instruments with a big capacity to automatically store and supply, including the management of inventories in real time.

3.- Sortation solution: This technology provides a wide range of conveyors in which boxes that come from different batches or production lines are leveled.

They are frequently used to supply the corrugated production lines of automated palletizing. These systems can manage a wide variety of size, weight and capacity.

4.- Pallet Handling System: This system has conveyors with different characteristics to fit the function, flow and types of pallets. It also has the necessary elements for all kinds of tracking. Roller or chain equipment are just examples of its variety.

5.- Conveying System: The Conveying System (conveyor belt) is essential in every industry due to the security of products’ handling.

Finished products are transported through the conveyors. These move products from one point to another, making intervention with other process equipment, such as: labeling, fillers, packing, etc.

6.- Lifting System: This equipment allows lifting products and placing them into high conveyor belts which results in avoiding obstacles that may reduce productivity.

There are continuous lifts, spiral lifts, inclining lifts, boom lifts, reciprocating pallet lifts, among others.

7.- AGV: The AGV (automatic guided vehicles) are systems used to handle different types of products. Its main functions are:

  • Material removal from racks or fixed places at ground level
  • Products’ transportation to one or different places.
  • Assembling systems.
  • Automatic placement of products or       consumables into the process machine.
  • Products’ transference between lines.
  • Interaction for supplying or helping within automated warehouses.
  • Tucks’ loading and unloading.
