VMA Automation Guide Define the load, compare cell concepts, and check the assumptions behind a throughput promise.
Palletization builds a unit load for handling and transport. Check footprint, package support, center of gravity and restraint before approving a pallet pattern.

Evaluate robotic palletizers using tool-plus-case payload, reachable approach and exit motions, and cases per minute calculated from a stated handling cycle.
Read articleUnderstand Ti and Hi, translate cases per layer and layer count into a palletizer recipe, and recognize when mixed or partial layers need more detail.
Read articleEvaluate palletizing loads, tool reach, worker interaction and protective measures before comparing collaborative and separated robot cells.
Read articleCompare vacuum, side-contact and support-based gripping concepts using packaging samples, tool loading, access and repeatable trial records.
Read articlePrepare SKU, order and arrival data for mixed-case palletizing, then check support, handling constraints and physical load stability.
Read articleCalculate palletizing capacity from picks, cycle time, pallet exchange and stated downtime assumptions, with a worked example and sensitivity table.
Read articleDefine a complete robotic palletizing cell, compare handling concepts, and collect the product, pallet and interface data needed for a proposal.
