Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “1. Field “The present disclosure relates to palletizing, and more specifically to a syste m and method for palletizing. “2. Brief Description of Related Developments “Many robotic palletizing cells are known in the art. Typically, such a palletiz ing cell includes one or more robot arms equipped with a product picking tool, a system that brings an empty pallet near the robot arms, and one or more conveyo rs that brings products to the robots to be picked thereby and positioned on the pallet. “A drawback of conventional palletizing cells is that there is waiting time inhe rent to the bringing of an empty pallet near the robot arms and of the exiting o f a full pallet before a further pallet is filled with products. “Also, the new requirements of manufacturers and distribution centers ask for be tter productivity of the robotic arm, where waiting time should be minimized.”
