In modern manufacturing, repetitive tasks like palletizing can tie up valuable human resources and slow down production. That’s why Just Automate, in partnership with JAKA Robotics, has developed a turnkey cobot palletizing solution under the brand MoveComponents®, helping companies automate palletizing quickly, safely, and efficiently. 

The system combines the precision and flexibility of a JAKA Pro 16 collaborative robot with a robust MoveComponents palletizing base, creating a platform that is ready for a variety of industries—from food and beverages to manufacturing and logistics. What makes this solution even more powerful is that it is built on D:PLOY, a very intuitive automation platform from OnRobot. D:PLOY allows easy implementation and operation of the palletizer, making life simple for end customers.

How the Cobot Palletizer Works

At the heart of the system is the MoveComponents palletizing base, designed to provide a stable and flexible foundation for the JAKA cobot. The powder-coated steel base includes a fixed pillar for mounting the cobot, integrated LED lighting to improve visibility, and sensors to ensure precise pallet detection. Both pallet positions are equipped with zero points for fast setup, while reset buttons and a fixed position for the teach pendant make programming straightforward. 

The base is also mobile and can be repositioned with a pallet truck, giving manufacturers the flexibility to move the system as needed. Combined with the JAKA cobot’s intuitive programming and collaborative capabilities, as well as D:PLOY’s easy-to-use automation interface, operators can automate palletizing quickly, safely, and without extensive planning or custom integration work. 

Solution & Technical Highlights 

For readers who want to quickly understand the capabilities, the MoveComponents® cobot palletizer delivers: 

1. Compact design, requiring minimal floor space 

2. Stacking height up to ±2,400 mm 

3. Maximum payload of 16 kg 

4. Maximum throughput of ±8 cycles per minute 

5. Single or multi-picking capability 

6. Handles a wide range of product types: cardboard boxes, trays, open or sealed boxes, shelf-ready products, and containers such as Euro containers (plastic KLT bins) 

7. Ready for the most commonly used pallets on the market 

8. Easy setup for palletizing through standard software 

9. Fast return on investment (ROI) 

Real-World Applications 

The MoveComponents palletizing solution has already helped companies across Europe optimize their operations. 

Dutch Distillery: A Dutch distillery faced the challenge of manually stacking heavy boxes, a time-consuming and physically demanding process. With the MoveComponents cobot palletizer, powered by D:PLOY, the system was up and running within a single day, immediately reducing operator workload and increasing productivity. The distillery now has the flexibility to redeploy the cobot for other tasks, maximizing return on investment.

German Road Safety Specialist: A company producing traffic safety equipment needed a faster, safer way to unload containers and stack products. By implementing the MoveComponents palletizer, the company automated repetitive tasks, reduced manual labor, and optimized workflow efficiency. The system enabled them to maintain high productivity while improving employee safety.

Why This Solution Stands Out

What sets the Just Automate cobot palletizer apart is the combination of robust engineering, collaborative flexibility, and ready-to-use automation. The MoveComponents base ensures stability and durability, the JAKA cobot provides precise and safe handling, and D:PLOY makes implementation and operation straightforward, removing complexity for end users. 

Manufacturers benefit from a reduction in manual labor, faster operations, and the ability to redeploy the cobot for different tasks, making it ideal for high-mix, low-volume production environments. The solution also lowers the barrier to automation for SMEs, offering a cost-effective, off-the-shelf system with transparent pricing and immediate availability.
