How do you make every pallet identical — and pay for the system in under six months?
A UK manufacturer of fire-stopping products came to us with a familiar end-of-line problem. Operators were hand-stacking insulation batts onto pallets in a set pattern. It was physically demanding, the pace varied from person to person, and stack quality was never quite consistent.
We installed a cobot palletiser — a compact, high-payload collaborative robot that automates the palletising at the end of the line.
The results speak for themselves:
✅ Every pallet now leaves the factory identical — quality no longer depends on the individual
✅ Repetitive manual handling removed, cutting the risk of RSI and lifting injuries
✅ Reliable, consistent output in place of operator-to-operator variation
✅ A small footprint that fits a tight end-of-line space
✅ Simple enough for operators to programme themselves
And the business case? Granta's cost-of-automation analysis showed the system paying for itself in under six months.
In the customer's own words: "I can now guarantee that every pallet is the same when it leaves this factory, whereas before it was down to individuals."
Whether you're weighing up robotic palletising, automated palletising or a collaborative robot for a space-constrained line, we'll help you build the business case — starting with a free assessment visit.
