CMES Robotics said that its AI-powered palletizer will make its U.S. debut at PACK EXPO 2026 in Chicago.
CMES Robotics, a provider of AI-powered piece-picking and palletizing automation for warehouses and distribution centers, said its mixed-case robotic palletizer will make its U.S. debut at PACK EXPO 2026 in Chicago.
The company said that the system, which launched internationally in the first quarter of 2026, will be shown publicly in the U.S. for the first time at this year's show.
CMES Robotics said that the mixed-case palletizer uses AI-driven vision and grasping technology to identify, orient and stack cases of varying sizes and shapes onto a single pallet, a task that has traditionally required manual labor or automation limited to uniform case sizes.
For U.S. operators, particularly 3PL providers and large distribution centers, the company said that the system is designed to address three persistent operational pressures:
“U.S. operators have been asking for a palletizing solution that can handle real-world variability, not just uniform cases,” said David Callen, senior vice president, CMES Robotics USA. “This system fills that gap, and PACK EXPO is the right stage to show it live.”
Unlike palletizing automation built for a single case size, CMES Robotics said that its system is engineered specifically for the mixed-SKU pallets that reflect how most 3PLs and omnichannel distribution centers operate in reality.
The company said that the system is designed to integrate into existing lines without requiring a redesign of the surrounding facility, with a deployment timeline shorter than many operators expect from robotic automation.
