This solution automates the transport and stacking of heavy 15kg insulation boxes by positioning a 4-axis palletizer in parallel with the pallets. The project was designed to improve a hazardous work environment where frequent manual handling of heavy insulation led to worker injuries. By integrating an automated conveyor system with Vention’s palletizer, the project successfully automated the entire transfer and stacking process, reducing the cycle time to just 15 seconds. Operators can easily control the system and monitor real-time status through Vention’s intuitive Palletizer MachineApp.

Components

Robot	Robot: Vention 4-Axis Palletizer Weight: 1,200kg Dimensions: Width 3.5m, Depth 2.5m, Height 4.1m (High-clearance design) Control Software: Vention Palletizer MachineApp (Real-time monitoring & Easy operation)

Workflow

STEP 1.	Infeed: Insulation boxes are transported to the picking zone via a conveyor belt.
STEP 2.	Picking: The 4-axis palletizer securely picks up the 15kg heavy-duty boxes.
STEP 3.	Palletizing: Boxes are stacked onto up to two pallets arranged in parallel for continuous operation.

Recommended Use Cases

Bin Picking Automation using UR5e & 3D Vision

This solution was used to develop a bin picking workstation for ActiNav, Universal Robots' autonomous motion solution. ActiNav is a comprehensive system capable of vision inspection, collision avoidance, and real-time robot motion control. In collaboration with Vention, Universal Robots conducted research to improve the efficiency of bin picking based on workpiece height, picking angles, and the distance between the robot and parts. Vention developed a specialized workstation that allows for easy adjustment of these critical factors. Through testing the time and accuracy of picking 100 workpieces, the team successfully developed a workstation that reduced operation time by 40%.

Ink Cartridge Packaging using Epson C4

This application case features an automated ink cartridge packaging solution utilizing the Epson C4 6-axis robot. By integrating a tool changer, the system performs multiple tasks—box handling, cartridge insertion, and QR code inspection—within a single compact cell. The seamless transition between tasks minimizes idle time, maximizes productivity, and simplifies process management through a unified automation flow.

Smart Logistics Management using 42 Units of Geek+ P800 (AMR)
