Automated single- and layer-picking for palletizing, depalletizing and order assembly

Nowadays, one of the most common loading aid devices for any kind of goods is the pallet. It allows manual or automated handling of goods through the complete material flow process and enables easy exchange between the various process steps. Goods are not only shipped on pallets, but can also be stored on them efficiently. Thus, palletizing, depalletizing, and order assembly are ever-recurring tasks in all types of material flow systems - may these be in service sectors, distribution centres or warehouses, or for the immediate supply of production systems
