Format changes are an ever-more common procedure for industry, and the increase in tailored requests from customers requires the highest level of flexibility from production systems. Adopting an efficient and intelligent automatic format change can optimise the entire end-of-line automation process.

Automatic palletisation for mixed-goods pallets is seeing great success and continuous growth in a huge number of sectors, which are more than ever required to optimise processes and offer flexible services in order to remain competitive in the market.

We expand on the role of automatic palletisers and robotic palletisation systems in highly complex and changing environments such as the packaging industry.
