Benefits of Robotic Palletizing Systems for Building and Construction Materials
In the building and construction industry, there’s no time for downtime. But abrasive and dusty materials can get into equipment and interrupt performance. Our machines are built to last, and also built to perform reliably with minimal downtime.
Our durable robot palletizers can withstand rough treatment from harsh environments. They have minimal moving parts and long-lasting paint that can withstand corrosive materials. Our robotic palletizers minimize dust impacts on employees and reduce downtime due to equipment maintenance.
We support the building and construction materials industry with reliable and efficient automation for all types of products, including lumber, dry mix concrete, sand, gravel, and paint.
Custom Solutions
No matter your product type and packaging, our robots can stack it. Let us create a tailor-made system for your operations.
Built to Last
Our low-maintenance machines have minimal moving parts, long-wear paint and durable materials to save you money in parts and service, as well as reducing downtime.
Experienced Integrator
With nearly 100 integrations in the building and construction industry, trust our team to design a system that’s fully compatible with your new or existing equipment.
Safety
Maintain efficiency and improve safety at the same time. Robotic palletizers can assist or replace employees in high-risk activities, cutting down on ergonomic injuries.

Importance of Skilled Integrators for the Building and Construction Materials Industry
Pails for paint and valve bags for powdery materials like concrete powder are equally well supported by robotic palletizing systems, as robots excel in handling heavy materials with precision and repetition. They can improve employee safety while maintaining flexibility and supporting higher throughput.
Custom end effectors can pick up multiple pails at once. Bag rollers or bag flatteners create flat, compact bags. Metal detectors and checkweighers ensure there are no contaminants in the product. Unexpected stoppages can happen if any peripheral equipment isn’t communicating with another. Our experienced team ensures everything is set up optimally to keep your lines moving as fast and efficiently as possible.
Heavy Duty Industrial Robot for Building and Construction Materials
A Columbia/Okura palletizing robot with custom peripheral equipment is able to meet the unique stacking requirements for these large shed building materials. When standard, off-the-shelf products do not fit your requirements, we will design a custom palletizing system to meet your needs.
"I have had better service from Columbia/Okura than any other vendor I have."
