White Paper: Is now the time to consider a robot palletizer?

As small startup manufacturing businesses grow and increase production, they will inevitably look for ways to improve their operation.  Physical labor has advantages of flexibility, human insight, and a relatively low up-front cost.  Mechanical automation also has advantages – ergonomics, repeatability, and stamina to name a few.  Each business must weigh the trade-offs between manual and automatic operations.

Many core industries: mineral, food, chemical, petfood, feed, seed, agriculture, and others use bags or sacks as a means of storing and transporting their products.  Most operations start out stacking bags manually and then eventually end up with some form of automatic palletizing.  When does a company make this shift to automation?  What must be considered before making this change?  This paper attempts to discuss these questions in light of the recent boom in robotic palletizing.
