…Robotics, Locus Robotics, Exotec, KNAPP, Bastian Solutions, Fetch, Robopac, Grenzebach, and Tennant. They are spread across many different campuses and buildings for a wide variety of clients. Do you envision conducting both distribution and fulfillment in the same facilities? How could robots help both functions? McDonald: We currently do both distribution and fulfillment—for example, sending product to other DCs and fulfilling store orders—out of many of our facilities and expect to continue to do so with this type of robotic technology. Robots can help with both functions through a number of ways. For example, utilizing robotic technology for distribution and…

…the Mixed Case Row Palletizing (MXRP) robot-based palletizer from Grenzebach (Booth 7913). The gripper works with a load station that groups the cases in the proper sequence. It then elevates the products, allowing the forks to gently lift the packages from the bottom, explained Brian Keiger, general industry sales manager. “The forks can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically, letting the device handle various package types, including open top cases,” he said. The gripper works with software that builds the pallet load ahead of time. The software knows what SKUs are required, in what order they will be palletized, and…

…accurate,” says Brian Keiger, general industry sales manager for Grenzebach Corp. “Further, robotic palletizers easily adapt and expand to match changing consumer demands.” Building custom, mixed pallet loads requires a delicate balance between a customer’s depalletizing needs and the stacking force limitations of each case. Previous options include building the load by hand, using a traditional system limited to handling one or two cases at a time, or employing multiple robotic units. Advances in the robotic palletizing technology can now enable a single robot to deftly build the pallet load. That’s because some of the newest, most advanced grippers used…
