Simplified programming of new pallet configurations

A novel control solution let this OEM accelerate pallet layer configuration, eliminate manual input errors, and reduce time spent on debugging its entry-level robotic palletizer.

Prior to using PalletSolver, ARPAC used a PLC to control the entire palletizing cell.
Prior to using PalletSolver, ARPAC used a PLC to control the entire palletizing cell.

Arpac was among the very first to take advantage of a new robotic palletizing software from Yaskawa Motoman that streamlines the palletizing process by generating ideal pallet patterns and enabling robots to palletize more variations quickly and efficiently.

Called PalletSolver, this off-line PC-based tool has been a popular feature on Arpac’s Arbot-LT, which is an entry-level palletizer designed for picking no more than two cases at a time and for speeds no higher than 15 cases/min. Thanks to its intuitive drag-and-drop features, PalletSolver makes it possible to quickly set robotic palletizing routines for virtually any mix of SKUs entering the Arbot-LT. Unlike the more conventional or traditional approach, where programming lines of robotic code is required to make a change in a pallet pattern, with PalletSolver a trained operator can go to the machine’s teach pendant and program a new pattern with no need for input from a dedicated robot programmer.
