Summary of Innovation
NuMove’s Semi-Automatic Mixed Load Palletizer has been introduced in the market in November 2020. Since then, fifteen systems have been acquired by various facilities around the US. It is known as a robust and reliable palletizing solution for distribution centers seeking to cost-effectively prepare mixed pallets.
While the pallet handling is automated, a team of two operators can consistently achieve a rate of 800 cases per hour, with the capability to handle peaks up to 1000 cases per hour. Since its introduction, various improvements have been developed to further elevate the performance and user experience: shrouds to prevent unstable products to fall before being wrapped, monitoring cameras to help remote troubleshooting, manual offloading platform for enhanced versatility, etc.
Innovation Statement
NuMove’s Semi-Automatic Mixed Load Palletizer is considered a heavy-duty solution for those that require preparing mixed pallets but don’t have the volume to justify the purchase of a fully robotic solution. Its modular design reduces the installation and implementation time, thus helping wholesalers to deploy this technology easily and rapidly in their facility as their business evolves.
Applicability
The Semi-Automatic Mixed Load Palletizer offers an affordable and ergonomic solution for mid-sized distributors who wish to seamlessly increase their throughput.
