Award-winning Robomatrix® is the world’s fastest and most flexible palletising solution, made right here in Australia. The best analogy for how Robomatrix® works is that it is like 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, with unbelievable flexibility, accuracy, and reliability.
Robotmatrix® can gently handle packs in excess of ten layers per minute, with absolute precision and reliability of layer patterns. This eliminates unwanted pack turning or layer pattern problems common with conventional palletising systems.
The cartons are manipulated from a single stream, orientated and positioned laterally, so they accumulate in the programmed layer pattern. Once the layer is formed, it is lowered onto the pallet hoist and discharged onto the full pallet out-feed conveying system, from where it is normally distributed to a pallet stretch wrapping station.
Robomatrix is custom-designed to your precise requirements and manufactured in our factory in Echuca, Victoria. It is suitable for both FMCG and industrial goods and has a working life of several decades.
As Australia's largest packaging line integrator, we also offer conveying, integration, line control, turnkey packaging lines and local sales, service and support. We specialise in multi-line centralised palletising.
Client references include Coca-Cola, Foster’s, Lion Nathan, Asahi, Cadbury, Mars, SPC Ardmona and Coopers.

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.
