Analysis:
The use of layered pallets of goods and material for transportation is indispensable for many industries. Robotic palletizers and depalletizers efficiently automate labor- and time-intensive tasks, increasing the speed and accuracy of operations, while reducing damage to goods. Depalletization typically requires the delayering of goods (of same or different types), the process of breaking the layers into separate items for further processing.

Delayering automation solutions are provided by a number of suppliers, but they often require a large surface area, and can only move separated objects through a single exit point. cellumation’s novel cv.DEPAL solution can sort objects onto three different conveyor lines, eliminating the need additional depalletizing lines for many applications. Moreover, delayering does not require prior knowledge of the composition of the layers. Due to the hexagonal shape of the individual cells in the cv.DEPAL offering, system configuration and maintenance is greatly simplified, and the area required much reduced compared to traditional layer separation solutions. – Dan Kara
