The Challenge: Build Rows for Robotic Palletizing with Multiple Size Packages A customer of Midwest Engineered Systems Group approached them with a need for a robotic palletizer. They had three different case sizes with the smallest having a throughput of 50 cases per minute. They wanted to be able to build layers with any case size without elaborate conveyor change over. The Solution: ARB Row Forming System By utilizing Activated Roller Belt™ (ARB), Midwest was able to simultaneously build a row, while picking another on the same conveyor without any change over. ARB equipped conveyor can simply switch, bump turn and crowd multiple package types either all to one corner or into opposite corners maximizing the effectiveness of the end effector. This patented technology from Intralox can not only build multiple rows, but can build simple layers for robotic palletizing.
