Better Palletizing with Motoman PalletSolver Software

Motoman Robot­ics’ lat­est inno­va­tion for improv­ing pal­leti­za­tion is Pal­let­Solver. It is a com­pre­hen­sive pal­letiz­ing soft­ware suite with drag-and-drop and hot but­ton fea­tures that enable fast robot­ic pal­letiz­ing rou­tines for a vari­ety of SKUs. Pal­letiz­ing is one of the most impor­tant and wide­ly used end-of-line robot­ic appli­ca­tions on the mar­ket and com­pa­nies are con­stant­ly try­ing to improve it. Motoman’s Pal­let­Solver will help to stream­line your pal­letiz­ing process as it increas­es the ease of inte­gra­tion of Motoman’s robots and enhances the company’s pro­duc­tion line uptime. 

Pal­let­Solver is com­pat­i­ble with the DX200, MLX200, and DX100 con­trollers. It has a very easy-to-use con­fig­u­ra­tion; set­up and cus­tomiza­tion rou­tines offer your pro­duc­tion line fast devel­op­ment and sim­ple inte­gra­tion of robot­ic pal­letiz­ing sys­tems. Man­u­fac­tur­ers will not have to endure long shut­downs for train­ing pur­pos­es and can have the new automa­tion up and run­ning in no time, sav­ing mon­ey on pro­duc­tion costs.

This sim­ple soft­ware tool will also cre­ate the per­fect pal­let pat­terns for your pro­duc­tion needs, cre­at­ing more vari­a­tions quick­er and more effi­cient­ly. It offers a scal­able archi­tec­ture that can han­dle sin­gle-line and com­plex mul­ti-line pal­letiz­ing, as well as sin­gle and mul­ti­ple work­cells. Pal­let­Solver pro­vides sup­port for smart con­vey­ors and offers label place­ment flex­i­bil­i­ty. Col­li­sions with sur­round­ing equip­ment are avoid­ed with specif­i­cal­ly designed inter­fer­ence zones that can lim­it arm move­ment based on your needs.

To fur­ther enhance the ver­sa­til­i­ty, mul­ti­ple grip­per types can be used (fork, vac­u­um, clamp, bag) and dynam­ic grip­per zones enable flex­i­bil­i­ty for han­dling var­i­ous prod­uct sizes. It is very adapt­able for var­i­ous end-of-line pro­cess­ing require­ments such as sin­gle in-feed to mul­ti­ple build sta­tions or sin­gle in-feed with mul­ti­ple prod­ucts to mul­ti­ple build sta­tions. Pal­let­Solver can also accom­mo­date vir­tu­al­ly unlim­it­ed SKUs (stock keep­ing units).

Anoth­er great ben­e­fit that Pal­let­Solver brings to the pro­duc­tion line is the abil­i­ty to increase uptime by enabling quick prod­uct changeovers. This robot soft­ware allows work­ers to gen­er­ate pat­terns offline and changeover pat­terns for the pal­letiz­ing sys­tem with­out hav­ing to stop pro­duc­tion to val­i­date the change. This means that prod­ucts are pal­letized and prepped for ship­ping faster as well. This occurs because of two components: 

• Pal­let­Solver-PC (offline) — This com­po­nent offers devel­op­ment of pal­let pat­tern gen­er­a­tion and cell definition.
• Pal­let­Solver-Online — the online con­troller-based car­ries through with the actu­al exe­cu­tion and opti­miza­tion of the pal­letiz­ing operations.

All in all, by invest­ing in soft­ware like Pal­let­Solver by Motoman, a man­u­fac­tur­er is going to see the pal­letiz­ing they’ve come to expect from Motoman, with addi­tion­al bonus­es of a faster, more stream­lined application.
