Robotic Palletizers
Since 1996, we’ve been integrating dynaPAL™ industrial robot palletizers with upstream and downstream equipment to increase throughput and solve customers’ work shortages.
Our dynaPAL™ robotic palletizers come in a range of models that we can customize to meet your unique needs. They can handle a variety of applications up to 350 kg. Safe, durable, and reliable, dynaPAL models decrease downtime by automating tasks that are often repetitive and harmful to workers.
- Applications: bags, boxes, bundles, pails, spot packs, and trays
- Equipped with easy-to-program pattern-building software
- Flexible footprints allow efficient use of available floor space

Custom Robotic Palletizer Solutions to Meet Your Needs
For Michigan Sugar, we delivered a fully integrated system for product manipulation, orientation and conveying, and palletizing. This included a custom-engineered high-speed robotic palletizing system for pattern-building that ensures safe transportation and delivery of the company’s sugar. Let us design an efficient, cost-effective palletizing system to optimize your production.

Find answers to common questions about robotic palletizers.
What are industrial robotic palletizers?
Columbia/Okura robotic palletizers employ an articulated robotic arm to pick, orient, and place individual products, arranging them into layers which build into a full pallet load for shipping or storage purposes.
Articulated robots are the most common for palletizing applications, as the robotic arm can handle heavy products, palletize up to four lines at once, and pick up to 25 cases per minute.
They are more compact and configurable than standard palletizing systems.
Other types of robots used in palletizing include Gantry (or Cartesian) robots for slower applications and SCARA style robots, often used in faster production facilities to handle larger products.
What factors determine if an industrial robotic palletizer will work for our operations?
Industrial robotic palletizing systems can solve a number of operational problems, such as labor shortages and creating efficiencies to boost production. Your company’s end goal, therefore, is a key factor in selecting the robotic arm and end effector (gripper).
Other considerations include:
- Available floor space
- Packaging type
- Upstream and downstream equipment
- Workflows and processes
Can robotic industrial palletizers be customized for my specific applications?
Yes! We’re a leading provider of robotic palletizing systems precisely because we deliver custom-engineered solutions to meet even the most demanding customer requirements. We can custom-design an end effector (gripper) to handle your specific application as well as engineer a completely modular system to work with your existing upstream and downstream equipment.
How do industrial robotic palletizers improve production efficiency?
Labor shortages are driving companies across all industries to explore robotic palletizers as a reliable way to increase productivity.
Robots can run all day with reliable load quality. The consistency and extra running time increase throughput and improve quality control.
Our robotic palletizing systems experience minimal interruptions and downtime. They’re up and running 99.5% of the desired time.
In many cases, robots can pick and build pallets faster than humans.
