Palletizing Solution
Mixed Case Palletizing
with Random Order Palletizing Software
Basic Description
FANUC Robotics has been in the
palletizing business for more than
20 years. We have more than
1,000 palletizing robots in the field
today. Our latest technologies
allow us to perform the most
challenging of all palletizing tasks,
Random Order Palletizing (U.S.
Patent). This leading edge
technology has been in use since
2000 and in its forth major release
(Gen IV).
