Once the box and pallet parameters are entered, it’s time to create your pallet configuration. “To get started to create your fi rst layer, press the plus, hit Edit Layer, and your boxes are on the screen ready to go. All you’ve got to do is drag and drop them into place. There’s no programming; nothing like that,” Pelesky says. “Once you’ve completed your entire layer, you’re able to center it left and

20,000+ QFR Pallet Positions Installed and the qfr zone® is still the most efficient blast freezing solution ever! • pallet fit™ door fits any pallet height reduces labor works with full, partial, or single layer pallets • no more need for plug pallets, zone can run with one or multiple empty pallet positions • increased airflow right and up and down to make sure the robot’s going to place a good and tight pallet configuration.”

After the fi rst layer is created, it’s easy to copy and paste it as the next layer or customize each layer di erently.

“The last step in building this pallet is we have to teach certain points because we’re not using any integrated vision,” Pelesky explains. Just two points need to be taught—the nesting position, where the box comes from the infeed conveyor; and the fi rst-place position on one of the pallets.

“You would then come over, hit that button where the position’s taught, and then you’re able to mirror it on the other side,” Pelesky says. “The last step would be to press Save, go back Home, and all of your pallet configurations are there, ready to go, on the fly, and can be adjusted as production changes within the line.” a video of the system at pfwgo.to/7842

Users can easily save and recall di erent pallet configurations based on production demands.

The PMMI Robots and Cobots Report presents emerging technologies and compiles predicted growth in the years ahead. It examines the predictions made four years ago in the 2019 Robotics Report— which predictions have been fulfilled, and which have yet to materialize. It also explores the key trends underpinning the robotics industry and how those trends are likely to impact deployments and manufacturing strategies into the future.
