Will a palletizing robot fit on your factory floor?
For many manufacturers, space is the number one barrier to automation. Production areas are already packed with conveyors, packaging machines, and pallet stations. Adding new equipment often feels impossible without tearing up the layout or losing valuable floor space.

That’s why Robotiq PAL Ready was engineered to fit right into real-world production environments—especially in the food and beverage industry, where space is limited and uptime matters.

Compact by design

PAL Ready takes up roughly the space of half a pallet. That’s the kind of footprint that allows you to add palletizing automation without reconfiguring your entire line.

Built-in safety scanners replace traditional fencing, maintaining an open, accessible layout that supports operator visibility and workflow efficiency. You get the benefits of automation—higher throughput, consistent stacking, and safer operations—without sacrificing space or accessibility.

Engineered for real production constraints

Most factories weren’t designed with robotics in mind. That’s why PAL Ready is preassembled, pretested, and production-ready on day one. You can place it where you’d normally fit a pallet, connect it to your line, and start palletizing right away.

Its modular and mobile design allows easy relocation between lines or seasonal setups. Whether you’re palletizing boxes or buckets, PAL Ready adapts to your environment instead of forcing you to adapt to it.

Real-world results: Panovo's space-saving success

When Panovo, a leading producer of snack and frozen bakery products, sought to automate palletizing, they faced one big challenge: limited floor space. Their existing facilities left little room for large machines or complex installations.

To solve this, Panovo partnered with Robotiq and HTL to deploy five Robotiq PAL Series cells—each handling different product formats and reaching up to 2,750 mm (108 in) in stack height.

The results speak for themselves:

• Consistent and standardized pallet formation, improving logistics efficiency

• Reliable operation even in low-temperature environments.

• A user-friendly interface that operators learned quickly—“as easy as using a smartphone.”

• Fast, supportive training from Robotiq and HTL’s technical teams.

By choosing a space-efficient collaborative solution, Panovo modernized their end-of-line process without expanding their footprint—proof that compact automation delivers large-scale impact.

"We had a big need to reduce operator fatigue in the packaging area, especially for palletizing. We required a low-cost, small-footprint solution because our space is limited and retrofitting big machines is difficult."
