Robotic Stacking & Destacking

The productivity of manufacturing and packaging operations depends on the efficient staging, loading, and unloading of products and materials to and from production lines. Robotic stacking and destacking systems are very well-suited for these types of processes.

Application processes in areas such as product assembly, part finishing/machining lines, flooring production, forming operations, and more.

Remtec robotic stacking and destacking systems can be customized to handle a variety of raw materials, finished products, packages, sheet goods, board stock, trays, totes, crates, and pallets.

Workcells can be designed to feed materials to a manufacturing line, stage them for WIP storage, or stack off for final warehousing or shipping.

How Robotic Stacking and Destacking Improves Processes

Traditionally, stacking and destacking operations in manufacturing have been performed using manual labor. Turnover tends to be high with these types of jobs because they are not only dull and repetitive but also tend to be hard on the human body and injury inducing. Other challenges involved with these types of processes include high rates of speed and volume, products sticking together, as well as varying product shapes, weights, and sizes.

Robotic stacking and destacking offer the following process advantages:

  • Frees employees for more enjoyable tasks
  • Consistent production rates over manual handling
  • Automation can safely separate products
  • Intelligent systems can process complex stacking data including shape, crushability, stability, & shipping data
