Multi-SKU Palletiser: Multiple products and formats at high speed

Robomatrix MULTI-SKU palletises multiple products to multiple locations simultaneously.

Award-winning Robomatrix® is the fastest, most flexible palletising system available for the Australian market, multiplying output and flexibility, without a drop in performance no matter how many product variants and patterns are programmed.

The best analogy for how Robomatrix® works is playing Tetris with robots and cartons. Our proprietary robotic pattern-forming software, Robowizard®, is provided as a drag-and-drop interface that enables size changeovers in minutes, not days—with no PLC technician required. It is simple to use and offers unbelievable flexibility, accuracy, and reliability.

Robomatrix® Multi-SKU is a new release and a step change in Australian palletising, enabling FMCG manufacturers to palletise multiple products and formats at high speed.

Consumers are demanding a wider range of packaging styles, shapes and sizes. A single FMCG packaging line is expected to be able to accommodate more SKUs than ever before, at faster speeds with less waste. New Multi-SKU Robomatrix® High-Speed Palletising is capable of palletising multiple products to multiple locations at the same time.

The model shown handles two lines simultaneously, with 15 SKUs between them. One line runs 3 formats, and the other around 12 formats. However, due to our pattern programming software Robowizard®, the system is completely flexible, and the palletiser could manage significantly more formats on each of the two lines.

The system is designed to be modular so additional palletisers can be added and share the same pallet handling inbound and outbound.

PALLETISE FASTER


Compact Robomatrix comes with Robowizard Pallet Pattern programming Software.

Robowizard® is a robotic pattern-forming software for palletisers developed by Foodmach. It enables customers to do their own pallet pattern programs rather than having to pay the original equipment manufacturer to come to site and make changes.

In pick and place palletising, robots are used to pick up single cases, or a number of cases aligned the same way, to place them in the correct location on a layer. This solution has the flexibility to easily change layer patterns from one product to the next, particularly if a simple layer pattern program such as Robowizard® is used.

The best analogy for how Robowizard works is that it’s like playing Tetris with robots and cartons. It is provided as a drag-and-drop interface that enables size changeovers in minutes, not days, with no PLC technician required. It is simple to use, with unbelievable flexibility, accuracy, and reliability.


SIMPLE INTERFACE

Add new products to your palletise line with ease. Just 3 easy steps:

1. Input new pack size
2. Drag and drop new pattern
3. Hit Go!


AUTO-ROBOTICS

Robowizard automatically programs the robot path.

No need for complicated software engineering. It does it all for you.


PICK & PLACE CELLS

Robowizard accommodates multi-pick and multi-place movements, for fast cycle times.

Plus, high-infeed, low out-feed systems fit in compact areas.


PURE FLEXIBILITY

Robowizard is built to be versatile.

Need a vacuum head for soft packs? Are your products heavy and need mechanical touch?

Robowizard is ready for anything.


ALL PACK TYPES

No matter your packaging type, Robowizard can handle it.

Eliminate downtime and keep your production running at full potential.


INCREASE SPEED

Multiple robots present no problem to Robowizard. The software is intelligent while remaining incredibly simple.

Increase production rates with multiple robots and reduce downtime. Run robot one while robot two is shut down for scheduled maintenance.


PEACE OF MIND

Robomatrix and Robowizard are true Australian-made innovations that come with local service and support.
