Intelligrated IntelliGen palletizing software

Company: Intelligrated

Technology Snapshot: Intelligrated announced its IntelliGen palletizing software that allows operations to easily adjust pallet load configuration without the need for extra programming or cumbersome integration. Designed for robotic palletizing operations that handle a variety of product types and sizes, the new software allows operators to simply adjust load patterns and stacking characteristics based on changing product dimensions and other variables, offering improved flexibility, speed and load integrity.

The IntelliGen software comes integrated with the robotic cell’s standard control system and allows facility operations personnel to select user-defined load configurations, greatly simplifying product changeovers. The software also provides the capability to adjust load configurations, patterns and product sizes without the need to make a service call or leverage complex external software programs.

Facility staff can use IntelliGen to make these changes with minimal training, extending the palletizing cell’s capability beyond the initial product mix. The software’s advanced functionality also includes row-forming and case-turning, enabling multiple-piece picks and drops on multiple rows, yielding higher rates than competitive alternatives.

The IntelliGen platform offers wide-ranging compatibility with major robotic arm brands and supports a variety of customized end-of-arm tooling. This reduces integration time and provides the ability to handle a variety of packaging types, including corrugate cases, plastic totes and bags, making the software well-suited for diverse applications across multiple industries ranging from food and beverage to warehousing and distribution.
