On-the-Fly Mixed Palletizing

Smart Palletizing for Unsequenced,
Mixed-SKU Handling

Build stable mixed-SKU pallets directly from random product flows.   

No Sequencing. No Downtime.

Progressive Robotics delivers on-the-fly palletizing that adapts to your warehouse’s reality: 

variable SKUs, unpredictable infeed, and the speed modern logistics demand.

How On-the-Fly Mixed Palletizing Works

sku dimensions for mixed palletizing

1. Scan

The 3D vision system captures box dimensions and orientation in real time.

2. Think

The AI engine selects the next optimal stacking position using real-time motion planning and physical constraints.

3. Execute

The robot performs a collision-free move, placing the case precisely to form a stable mixed-SKU pallet.

Why On-the-Fly Palletizing Changes Everything

AI-Powered Stacking Engine

Determines the optimal placement for every box on the pallet by considering weight and size.

✔ Millisecond inference
✔ Self-improving algorithms
✔ Guaranteed pallet stability

No Sequencing - No Bottlenecks

Handle random inbound flows directly and still deliver perfect outbound pallets.

✔ Faster cycle times
✔ Reduced footprint and cost
✔ Ideal for e-commerce fulfillment and 3PL

3D Vision & Motion Planning

The robot detects and positions every case dynamically with collision-free paths.

✔ Sub-millimeter detection accuracy
✔ Vision-guided placement validation
✔ Smooth, singularity-free robot motion

Modular Software Architecture

A stacking API allows easy integration into any robot, PLC, or vision system. Efficient for integrators.

✔ API-driven connectivity
✔ Compatible with ABB, KUKA, FANUC, UR, and more
✔ Ready for digital twin simulation

Frequently Asked Questions

The process of stacking boxes of different sizes, weights, and SKUs on a single pallet. Traditional systems require sequencing and buffer conveyors to achieve stability.

A method where the system eliminates the sequencing step, using AI, computer vision, and real-time motion planning to build stable pallets from random inbound sequences. It’s a breakthrough in warehouse and logistics automation, making smart warehouses truly flexible and cost-efficient.

It calculates optimal stacking positions in real time and learns from each cycle to increase efficiency.

Yes, the modular software integrates via a stacking API with all major industrial robot and cobot brands.

Traditional mixed palletizing requires sequencers, or pre-sorted product flows to create a stable pallet. On-the-fly mixed palletizing eliminates all pre-sorting requirements. The system uses AI, 3D vision, and real-time motion planning to build stable pallets directly from random inbound boxes. No sequencing, no waiting, and no extra hardware is needed.
