Pick/Pack/Palletizing

Acieta integrates high-speed robotic pick and place systems for product sortation, lane splitting, and infeed accumulation, built to keep pace with your fastest production lines.

Custom vacuum end-of-arm tooling handles fragile, irregular, and mixed-format products with consistent grip force and placement accuracy across high-cycle production.

Integrated vision guides robots to locate, orient, and pick products reliably, even with incoming variation in position, format, or packaging style.

We specialize in custom end-of-arm tooling that allows robots to handle delicate products with controlled contact force, reducing damage and improving placement consistency.

Robotic case packing systems place products into cases with the speed, accuracy, and flexibility to handle multiple SKUs without dedicated tooling for every format.

Automated stretch wrapping systems apply consistent film tension and wrap patterns to finished pallets, reducing material waste and ensuring load stability for shipping.

Integrated box erecting systems form, fold, and present cases for packing automatically, removing a manual bottleneck from your packaging line.

In-line weigh systems verify pack weights automatically, catching short fills and overfills before they leave your facility.

Acieta designs custom conveyor systems that move bulk product through your end-of-line process with the speed and control your throughput demands.

Our systems handle multiple product types and pallet formats simultaneously, scaling to hundreds of case types without adding complexity or slowing throughput.

Robotic depalletizing systems unstack incoming loads at the start of your line, feeding product into your process consistently without manual intervention.

Automated slip sheet dispensing and handling integrates directly into your palletizing cell, keeping pallet builds clean and stable without adding labor.

Acieta's palletizing software manages layer patterns, pallet configurations, and mixed-SKU logic, giving you real-time flexibility without reprogramming for every product change.

Modern end of line automation can accommodate significant variation through vision-guided picking, flexible end-of-arm tooling, programmable pallet patterns, recipe-driven controls and automated changeovers.

The practical limit depends on the differences between products, cases, pallet formats and handling requirements. In many applications, designing around product families provides the needed flexibility without engineering for variation the operation is unlikely to use.

End-of-line equipment rarely receives product at a perfectly consistent rate.

We start by understanding how product actually arrives at the end of the line including sustained and peak rates, surges, gaps, changeovers and expected downtime.

From there, accumulation and buffering can be placed strategically between picking, packing, palletizing and other processes to decouple equipment with different cycle times and recovery characteristics.

The goal is an integrated end-of-line system that can absorb normal production variability, recover from interruptions and maintain the required throughput without continually starving or blocking upstream processes.

Picking, packing, conveying, palletizing, dunnage handling, wrapping and finished pallet movement can be integrated into one system, but that doesn’t mean every process needs to be automated at once.

Labor, ergonomics, throughput constraints, equipment dependencies and existing assets all influence where integration creates the most value. In some applications, eliminating manual handoffs between processes is just as important as automating the individual operations.

Integration risk often exists at the interfaces between equipment rather than within the individual machines.

Product transfers, controls handshakes, accumulation, fault behavior, product tracking and restart logic all need to be defined across the system.

This becomes especially important when multiple OEMs are involved, because each machine can meet its own specification while the complete line still falls short of the production requirement.

Future capacity should be considered during initial system design when production growth, new SKUs or additional lines are reasonably expected.

That may mean reserving floor space, conveyor capacity, controls capability or connection points for another robot, palletizing position or downstream process.

The goal isn’t to overbuild the system today, but to avoid an architecture that makes tomorrow’s expansion unnecessarily difficult or expensive.
