Peak Technologies, provider of smart technologies and automated supply chain solutions, is partnering with Jacobi Robotics to deliver AI-powered mixed-case palletizing to complex warehouses and distribution centers. The fruit of this collaboration is the OmniPalletizer physical AI platform, which intelligently adapts to mixed-case variables and eliminates upstream complexities.
As per the partners, the Jacobi OmniPalletizer eliminates the need for upstream buffering, sorting, and sequencing. Teaming with Peak Technologies’ expertise in enterprise technology integration, the turnkey solution deploys rapidly without disruptions to active workflows. This makes it ideal for a wide range of industries, including retail, grocery, beverage, consumer goods, and third-party logistics facilities.
Tony Rivers, president and CEO at Peak Technologies, said, “Mixed-case palletizing is traditionally one of the most time- and cost-intensive workflows in warehouse environments, often forcing operations teams to tradeoff between automation and flexibility. Our partnership with Jacobi Robotics eliminates that constraint by providing a fully packaged solution that adapts to real-world variability without adding upstream complexity.”
Employing real-time motion planning, computer vision, and self-learning AI, the OmniPalletizer continuously adapts to case variables without manual programming. It intelligently discerns product mix, packaging dimensions, and arrival patterns while maintaining operational rules such as heavy-to-light prioritization or crush limits.
Additionally, onboard digital twin technology allows users to validate system performance using their particular historical data. For additional data and details, peruse the Jacobi OmniPalletizer overview. Also visit the Peak Technologies website.
