Palletizing

Build a pallet. Stack boxes into a neat, stable pattern with no overhang, and change it in minutes.

Describe the box, the pattern, and the pallet, and ThRiVer stacks layer by layer, planning around the stack as it grows so a box never hits it. Give it a new job by describing the change, not by re-engineering the cell.

Up to 800 cases per hour, square and stable, with no overhang.

The pipeline

How ThRiVer runs it.

See the boxes
1

See the boxes

The vision system reads the size, shape, and position of each box as it arrives.

Plan the pattern

Plan the pattern

ThRiVer decides the stacking order and where each box goes, layer by layer.

Place it square

Place it square

The robot places each box on its spot in the layer, then re-plans around the stack as it grows.

Build a stable pallet

The result is a neat, stable pallet with no overhang, ready to ship.

What you get

What it delivers.

Builds a square, stable pallet with no overhang, layer by layer
Reads each box as it arrives, so it does not need a fixture to hold boxes in place
Plans around the stack as it grows, so a box never hits it
Change the box, the pattern, or the pallet by describing it
When reality gets messy

How it handles the hard cases.

A demo runs once. Production runs all shift. ThRiVer is built to keep going when an item is not where it should be.

The stack grows

ThRiVer keeps track of the pallet as it grows and re-plans each placement around it, so a box never hits the stack.

A box arrives off-position

The camera reads each box as it arrives, so a box that is not exactly where expected still lands square on the pallet.

Every placement is measured

Cycle time and success are logged per layer, so you see throughput and where time is lost.

Where it works

Built for production, across industries.

The same platform, set up by description, drops into very different lines.

Frequently asked questions

How many cases per hour can a robot palletize?
Up to 800 cases per hour on a ThRiVer cell. The real figure depends on case weight, the distance between infeed and pallet, and the pattern, so it is worth measuring on your own line rather than taking a headline number.
How do you change the pallet pattern?
You describe the change. State the new box, pattern or pallet and the cell replans, which takes minutes rather than a return visit from an integrator. There is no pattern editor to maintain and no robot code to rewrite.
Which pallet sizes are supported?
EUR and US standard pallet sizes out of the box, and others by describing the dimensions. The pattern is planned against the pallet you specify rather than selected from a fixed library.
