KRC robotic palletizer cell

Stop paying people to stack boxes.

We build single-arm robotic palletizing cells for manufacturers. One robot takes over the end of your line so your people don't have to.

Palletizing Automation ROI Calculator

Quickly estimate how a robotic palletizer impacts your labor costs and payback, and check whether your product runs on a standard cell or with light customization.

Manual palletizing is one of the hardest jobs on the floor to keep staffed, and one of the easiest to automate.

Labor you can't keep

High-turnover, hard to staff, pulls people off higher-value work.

Injuries add up

Repetitive heavy lifting drives back strain, fatigue, and workers comp.

Inconsistent pallets

Hand-built pallets vary, causing shipping damage and rework.

Two ways to automate it

Collaborative palletizer

A UR or FANUC CRX cobot cell. No fencing, smaller footprint. Best for lighter loads, tight floors, and a first step into automation.

Good fit: cases, trays, jars, bags up to moderate weight and speed.

Universal Robots
FANUC

Industrial palletizer

A fenced FANUC industrial robot. Higher payload and faster cycles. Best when volume and weight outgrow a cobot.

Good fit: heavier cases, bags, pails, and faster lines.

FANUC

A complete cell, not just a robot.

Every palletizer we build is delivered turnkey. We design it, build and test it in our shop, install it on your floor, and train your operators.

  • Robot, pedestal, and custom end-of-arm tooling sized to your product
  • Pallet pattern software and a simple operator screen for product selection
  • Infeed integration with your existing line
  • Safety system (area scanners for cobot cells, fencing and light curtains for industrial cells)
  • On-site installation, commissioning, and operator training

Every turnkey cell includes a 12-month warranty.

What it costs

Collaborative (cobot) palletizing cells typically run between $120,000 and $160,000, depending on product, throughput, and tooling. Fenced industrial palletizers generally run between $180,000 and $200,000.
