Plus One Robotics, beRobox launch DePalOne scalable depalletizing offering

Robotic AI-powered computer vision systems for material handling provider Plus One Robotics, in partnership with beRobox, a specialist in modular mobile robotics, announced the launch of DepalOne.

According to the companies, DepalOne is a turnkey depalletizing system designed to bring fast, flexible automation to modern warehouses without the need for facility modifications or extended downtime.

A vision-based depalletizing and palletizing system

Seen at both ProMat and Automate 2025, DepalOne combines beRobox's portable hardware with Plus One's AI-driven PickOne vision system to quickly deliver a deployable, fully integrated automation cell.

The system utilizes the Paltz system as its foundation and incorporates the PickOne vision suite to enhance the hardware's capabilities, creating a dynamic and flexible palletizing and depalletizing cell. The system is built to handle real-world complexity - including mixed, rainbow and single-SKU pallets - while offering a clear, scalable path as operations evolve.

"DepalOne brings the power of our vision system to a much wider range of users, not just the most complex, high-end operations," said Shaun Edwards, co-founder and CTO at Plus One Robotics. "For a long time, advanced robotic vision came priced at a single premium price, requiring months of customization. Now, operators can confidently automate using a reliable, easy-to-deploy system that handles everyday variability, like a reversed pallet, without all the headaches."

While named for its depalletizing focus, Plus One said DepalOne reflects a broader evolution: the expansion of its PickOne offerings to support customers with a range of needs, from simple to complex. With PickOne Lite, PickOne Core and PickOne Pro, Plus One said its customers can now choose a streamlined, lower-cost vision option and scale up or down as their operational demands change.

Plus One Robotics and beRobox said the companies took steps to standardize the DepalOne offering and bring it to market as a unified product, offering a scalable, plug-&-play system that solves labor shortages, ergonomic risks and packaging variability. The result is that warehouse operators can deploy automation within weeks with confidence, and "go live" on day one.

Flexbile configurations help meet real-world needs

Plus One Robotics said DepalOne helps customers move beyond just mixed-SKU palletizing, with flexible configurations to support a variety of real-world automation needs, including:

• Depalletizing Cell: Efficiently handle diverse packages and containers while navigating production exceptions for single SKU, mixed and/or rainbow pallets.
• Pal & Depal Combo Cell: Single unit for both palletizing and depalletizing - ideal for dock doors, cross-docking operations or rapid repalletizing with a single cell.
• Depal/Repal System: Complete offering for depal-to-order, relabeling, and pallet rebuilding for new store footprints, custom shipping, or updated labeling requirements, including rejection and recirculation flows.

The companies said the system delivers 500-700 packages per hour with 70-pound capacity, up to 98" palletizing height and nine cycles/minute with dual pallet locations.

"There's a real need for automation that meets operators where they are - not just in terms of cost and complexity, but in how quickly they can get up and running," said David Demers, CEO of beRobox. "This solution is about enabling progress without disruption. When technology works out of the box and grows with you, that's when automation really delivers."

DepalOne is now offered in scalable tiers, with the ability to pair with a corresponding PickOne vision package so users can choose the level that best fits their operation's needs and complexity:

1. Cobot: Fast-track deployment in just 4 weeks, handling up to 500 packages per hour (PPH)
2. Industrial Robot: Deployed in 8 weeks, delivering throughput of more than 650 PPH
