Robotiq, a distributor in collaborative robot (cobot) solutions, has launched the Palletizing Fit Tool, a free, easy-to-use online resource designed to help manufacturers identify the optimal palletizing solution for their operations—no robotics expertise required.

Where to start with automation? 

For many manufacturers, the idea of automating end-of-line palletizing is appealing—but navigating the options can feel overwhelming. The Robotiq Palletizing Fit Tool eliminates the guesswork, offering a quick and data-backed way to evaluate which palletizing setup is best for your facility, production needs, and financial goals.

“We created this tool to help manufacturers move from curiosity to clarity,” says Chris Coetzee, Director of Product Management at Robotiq. “It’s about making automation accessible, practical, and measurable right from the start.”

How it works

Users answer a short series of questions about their box dimensions, palletizing rates, shift schedules, and labor costs. In return, they receive:

  • A recommendation for the best-fitting Robotiq palletizing model
  • A layout tailored to their space and throughput goals
  • A detailed ROI and payback period calculation
  • A downloadable report to share internally

What makes it stand out

What sets the Palletizing Fit Tool apart is its automatically-generated simulation thanks to Robotiq’s online configurator, backed by real-world performance data. The report that the user receives includes a link to an online simulation of the appropriate Robotiq Palletizing Solution with the specific manufacturer’s needs in mind (box size and weight, pallet stack height, pallet configuration, etc.) 

The Palletizing Fit Tool provides a cost estimate for a complete palletizing project. It also quantifies the cost of inaction, giving manufacturers a picture of how delaying automation would affect their productivity and bottom-line performance.

The tool also generates a precise financial scenario that includes the impact on productivity, labor savings, and ROI based on actual data provided by the user.

And if it turns out there is not a fit? If the specifications that the manufacturer needs are outside the range of what Robotiq can provide or if there is not a clear ROI, the tool will let the user know immediately. No time wasted.

Designed for real-world operations

Whether you’re packaging snacks, stacking pet food, or shipping beverage cases, the Palletizing Fit Tool helps you build an automation plan based on your workflow.

One of the tool’s features is its ROI calculator, which factors in labor costs, shift schedules, and production volume to estimate how long it will take to recover the investment. Many users see a projected payback period of under 24 months—sometimes less than 12.

A smarter first step for any facility

The Palletizing Fit Tool is ideal for both multi-site manufacturers looking to standardize automation and for first-time cobot users who want a clear starting point.
