‘EasyPAL’: A Simple and User-Friendly Palletizing System Using a Collaborative Robot

26/09/2024
TRUE Okura Co., Ltd.

TRUE Okura Co., Ltd., the local subsidiary of Okura Yusoki, provides material handling equipment, including logistics robots, to the Thai logistics market. By accelerating automation in logistics environments and promoting labor and manpower savings through the "Okura Material Handling System", we aim to achieve stable operations and efficient logistics.

In recent years, the demand for easy automation of palletizing lightweight items has been growing due to labor shortages in logistics and manufacturing environments. Therefore, we would like to introduce the "EasyPAL", a simple and user-friendly palletizing system that utilizes a collaborative robot (COBOT).


COBOT Saves Space and Eliminates the Need for Safety Fences



Traditionally, palletizing systems have predominantly relied on powerful industrial robots with high capabilities. However, these industrial robots require safety fences to prevent unauthorized access, making installation challenging in spaces with limited room. A collaborative robot offers a solution to this issue.

"EasyPAL" does not require a safety fence, occupies minimal installation space, and can be implemented in the current workspace. Since a safety fence is unnecessary, it can be relocated to the required production line. It delivers optimal performance with simple installation tasks.


Teaching Robots Made Easy!
“OXPA-QmC”, Okura's Proprietary Palletizing Software

The key feature of "EasyPAL" is its incorporation of the palletizing-specific software "OXPA-QmC", which is based on Okura's proprietary offline teaching software, "OXPA-Qm". This software is renowned for its exceptional ease of use in the industry. "OXPA-QmC" is designed to enable even inexperienced operators to teach the robot how to palletize with ease. By creating palletizing programs on a computer, anyone can perform teaching effortlessly. Users simply input data about the items being conveyed—such as dimensions, weight, center of gravity, and label positions—and select the stacking pattern. The programming data is then automatically generated.

“EasyPAL” comes packaged with all necessary system components, including the robot body, robot hand, control box, station conveyor, and laser scanner. Installation can be completed in just one day, allowing for immediate operation upon setup. It is an easy-to-implement collaborative palletizing robot that can be quickly put into operation.

The robot body weighs just 64 kg and is compact, yet it has a payload capacity of 20 kg, enabling it to handle lightweight cases up to that weight. With a reach of 1750 mm, it can easily palletize for two pallets simultaneously. Depending on the conditions, it boasts a processing capacity of 5 to 8 cases per minute for palletizing tasks.

By utilizing a robotic palletizer, labor savings can be achieved, effectively addressing labor shortages. It can operate 24 hours a day, including overnight shifts, thereby enhancing daily productivity.

Okura Yusoki provides a wide array of palletizing solutions, ranging from traditional robotic palletizer systems that demand high capabilities to COBOT systems designed to handle lightweight items in compact spaces that can be operated by inexperienced workers.
