Yaskawa expands warehouse solutions to North America
The equipment extends the company's commitment to automation.
Snack and bakery equipment supplier Yaskawa America, Inc. has announced the official North American launch of its robotic warehouse solutions, leveraging and scaling engineering that have resulted in real-world deployments across Europe and several pre-launch sites in the U.S.
These fully commercialized solutions are now supported, delivered, and serviced by Yaskawa America, marking a significant expansion of the company’s commitment to warehouse automation in the North American market. Designed and engineered to help operations address throughput, labor efficiency, and scalability challenges, these solutions bring together Yaskawa’s robotics expertise with advanced motion planning and vision technologies, the company notes.
At the core of this expansion are Yaskawa’s PackMaster cell and its layer picker solution. The PackMaster is a palletizing system that leverages integrated motion planning and vision to support consistent, high-speed operations in a mixed-SKU environment, the company says, providing densely packed and wrapped outbound pallets while offering rates ranging from approximately 800 to 1,200 cases per hour. The layer picker solution allows for up to 130 single-SKU layers to be introduced to descramblers or other conveyance solutions. These solutions, along with Yaskawa's full-line of industrial and collaborative robots, AC drives, and servo motors aim to extend its position as the leader in material movement, it says.
Attendees can learn more about the solutions in action at Modex 2026, taking place April 13–16 in Atlanta, GA, at Booth C13556.
