The first showcase of advanced mixed palletizing solution at ProMat 2025 illustrates the combined power of 3D vision and AI-driven robotics, delivering unprecedented efficiency, scalability, and cost savings for warehouses and distribution centers.

Bratislava, Slovakia - March 6, 2025

Photoneo, now part of Zebra Technologies, and a global leader in 3D vision technology, is excited to announce its collaboration with Jacobi Robotics, a pioneer in AI-powered robotic automation, to offer innovative warehouse automation solutions. The partnership combines Photoneo's high-precision 3D vision systems with Jacobi's AI-driven robotics software, enabling warehouses to automate complex processes, reduce labor costs, and dramatically improve operational efficiency.
The first demonstration of this powerful synergy will be showcased at ProMat 2025 (March 17-20, McCormick Place, Chicago) in Booth #E11505. Attendees will see a live demonstration of a groundbreaking mixed palletizing solution, highlighting how Photoneo's advanced PhoXi 3D Scanners integrate seamlessly with Jacobi Robotics' AI-driven robotic platform to create a fully automated, high-efficiency solution. Together, the companies are setting a new standard for warehouse automation, enabling businesses to significantly reduce manual labor demands, enhance worker safety, and increase operational efficiency.

A Leap Forward in Warehouse Automation

The collaboration combines Photoneo's industry-leading 3D vision technology with Jacobi Robotics' proprietary motion planning software, resulting in systems capable of efficiently automating a wide range of challenging warehouse tasks, including palletizing and depalletizing single and mixed SKUs, with or without containers, such as roll cages and Gaylords. Historically, use cases with mixed palletizing and Gaylords have posed significant automation challenges; however, the advanced capabilities of Jacobi's AI-driven robotic platform, coupled with Photoneo's high-precision 3D vision systems, now make these solutions achievable.

We're excited to partner with Photoneo for a range of warehouse automation solutions. By combining our AI-powered motion planning with Photoneo's cutting-edge 3D vision, we're creating systems that not only boost efficiency but also adapt to the ever-changing demands of modern logistics.

Yahav Avigal

Co-Founder and CTO of Jacobi Robotics

At Photoneo, we're committed to solving real-world challenges through innovation. This collaboration with Jacobi Robotics is a perfect example of how advanced technology can deliver tangible benefits, empowering warehouses to operate smarter, faster, and more cost-effectively.

A Showcase of Advanced Mixed Palletizing at ProMat 2025

At ProMat, visitors will witness a live demonstration featuring Jacobi's high-speed robotic palletizing system integrated with Photoneo's PhoXi 3D Scanners. Cases enter through existing warehouse workflows---including manual picking or cross-docking---and pass through a compact robotic buffer that dynamically sequences them for optimal pallet building. Jacobi Robotics' AI software then directs industrial robot arms to rapidly build stable mixed pallets, significantly increasing throughput and reducing manual labor.
Benefits of the Combined Solution Include:
  • Increased Throughput - Accelerate outbound shipments with a system capable of handling up to 1000 cases per hour.
  • Improved Order Accuracy - Precise object recognition and optimized stacking patterns minimize errors, reduce costly returns, and improve pallet stability.
  • Enhanced Safety and Ergonomics - Automating physically demanding tasks protects workers from injury and enables redeployment to higher-value roles.
  • Enhanced Operational Flexibility - The system integrates seamlessly with existing workflows and scales with business growth.
  • Faster Deployment - Designed for quick setup and reconfiguration, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency.
